Sometimes simplicity needs no embellishment, but these pillows prove that sometimes embroidery loves simplicity. Made with the most basic of knitting stitches, they are the perfect backdrop for elegant stitchwork.

Floret Pillows are knit flat in super bulky yarn with a stockinette front and garter stitch back. Before seaming, embroidery in worsted weight yarn is added, with three different designs charted. Using only three foundational embroidery stitches, this is an ideal project to explore a common embellishment technique.

This pattern is features written instructions for knitting and embroidery stitches, with embroidery charts and tutorial reference.
