Song of Avalon is a huggable harp pillow. The first in a series, it’s based on the graceful, swooping lines of a small lap harp. The embroidered strings are accurately color coded just like a real harp. It’s a unique gift or accent for a harper’s home. Note: Does not actually play music.

Skills:
Knit, purl, intarsia, basic embroidery, single crochet.

Notes:
For different size pillows, use any yarn with needles a little smaller than usual for that yarn so stitches are tight enough to keep stuffing from showing. Embroidery instructions are not included, but since any straight stitch may be used, a quick internet search will provide many tutorials.
