GARDEN LATTICE PILLOW
The distinct diamond motif of garden lattices inspired this design. Similarly to how adding a lattice brings an elegant aesthetic to a garden or a yard, adding this pillow to an interior can spice it up with interwoven patterns. Garden Lattice Pillow makes a lovely modern piece that would fit in almost any room decor and combine beautifully with cushions in other patterns and shapes.
The front of the cushion cover is composed of traveling stitches and creates a cozy squishy fabric without the bulk introduced by the cables. Simple knits and purls, increases and decreases, and beautiful Japanese wrapped stitches unite in a deliciously textural knit. The back is worked in sleek stockinette.
Garden Lattice Pillow is knit seamlessly in the round. Instructions are both charted and written and include directions for an optional button flap.
