Tessera Pillow
A bold mosaic-inspired motif embellishes the center of the Tessera Pillow. Whether you choose a subtle or dynamic palette, this three-color stranded colorwork piece is a perfect fit for any decor.
For a limited time, this design is available as a Project Kit featuring Lamana Como.
Construction
Pillow is worked circularly in one piece, from end to end. Top and sides are sewn, and a zipper is attached at bottom. The Tessera Pattern may be worked either from chart or written directions.
