Join Furls Crochet and Katy Petersen of KT and the Squid for their January 2021 CAL. The Daley pillow is a simple yet trendy pillow cover pattern you can crochet up in a flash. The pattern is easy enough for any beginner (seriously no complicated stitches here). You can have fun and play with the fringe texture or make it just like the sample photos. See details and schedule below.
