Finishing
Sew cast on edges and side seams of pillow tog. Fill with polyfiill or pillow form.
I like the polyfiill best.
Sew final seam.
The two pieces look gray.
The completed pillow is the color it really is.
I'm going to knit another one for the other side of the pew.
I used size 8 needles
Don't know the name of the color because it was left over from some other project and don't have the label anymore.
The yarn is 4 wt
The skill level is easy.
The cable stitch is easy once you learn it. If you haven't tried it, do so and you will be surprised how easy it actually is.
