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.

Saturday Night Blue Jeans

Another pillow for a senior at one of the nursing homes around the area.

Weave-it Pillow

 This is the first time I tried making a weave-it pillow.

I like it but think it is a bit too big.

The next one I make will be smaller.

I made 60 squares.

30 for each side.

Sewed three edges together.

Left one side open so it could be stuffed.

Then sewed the last side.

Pillows will be given to seniors at local nursing homes.

A women's group at my church get together once a month to make

pillows, blanket for babies and seniors.

The yarn I used is Caron simply soft,

the same yarn I use for the baby blankets.
