Sweet Stripes

I really love pillows. I have a pillow in my computer chair, several on each couch, and others that just float around for whenever they might be needed. Pillows are an easy and relatively inexpensive way to change the way a room looks and feels, and this striped pillow will bring a lot of personality to any room you put it in.

Knit in two colors of two yarns and two stitch patterns (Stockinette and Reverse Stockinette), this pillow almost couldn't be easier, but its impact is dramatic, and not just because of the hot pink yarn. The varying widths of the stripes make this more interesting than many striped projects, both to knit and to have in your home.

This one ended up pink and white because I got both of these yarns in a yarn grab bag, but you could make it from any two colors and any two similarly weighted yarns you have in your stash. And it's such great TV knitting, you might want to make more than one.
