Step 1
You'll need 4 brightly colored, feltable yarns. I used 1 skein each of Brown Sheep Company, Lambs Pride Bulky in Pink(color A), Orange(color D), and Limeade(Color C). Then 2 skeins of Lemon Drop(Color B).
US size 13 needles.
Tapestry Needle
Any washable filling to stuff the pillow with. -
Step 2
Sides (Make one in colors A, B, C, D)
CO 50 sts.
Work Garter stitch for 8"
BO -
Step 3
Ends (make one each in colors B and C)
CO 25 sts
Work in garter stitch for 8"
BO -
Step 4
Using color D, whipstitch all sides together in any color combination you like. You want the seams to SHOW!
Sew ends onto body of pillow, leaving about a 4" opening on one piece. Stuff the heck out of pillow, then sew it shut. -
Step 5
Felt away! Throw it in the wash, take it into a hot bath, whatever your want to do to felt this sucker!
It can be a little fuzzy, so be ready with a sweater shaver to clean it up a bit.
