The sharp angles of this pillow was influenced by the art of Sonia Delaunay, who often worked in bright colors and geometric shapes as a painter and textile designer. The front triangles and the back square are all knitted separately and sewn together with mattress stitch. Colorful and versatile Wool of the Andes Superwash Bulky is held double so these pieces knit up quickly, with a grand result.
