If you think you’ve seen a similar pattern somewhere, you’re right! The color work technique for this pillow echoes the Zooey Pillow by Gwen Buttke McGannon (also in Interweave Crochet Fall 2019), but is worked completely differently. Finishing is minimal but adorable with kicky picot trimmings along the beginning and ending edges.
