Worked in the round with 2 strands of yarn held together, this football-inspired knit pillow stitches up in a snap! Designed in Bernat Softee Chunky, easy color changes, knits, purls and some simple yarn-over eyelets give this pillow just enough details to keep you on your toes, while still being easy to make. Finished with whimsical chained “laces”, this pillow is as much fun to make as it is to enjoy!
