Sometimes we just need some relaxing knitting to bring some joy to daily life! This was the inspiration for this project—a cute, colorful, textured, and simple project. It is a portable project and ideal for yarn leftovers. Pillow is worked flat lengthwise, beginning and ending with rib trim, then folded before blocking and seaming. Straight needles can be used.
