I hadn't done any handcrafts for some time, but finally felt I was ready to tackle on a new project. I thought long and hard on what to create. I wanted something easy and quick to make that would make my easing into crafts a satisfying and fun project.
I looked through my knitting basket and found some yarn that had be given to me by my sister in law. This yarn was not good for knitting socks or mitts ( since it had no wool in it) but I could use it to knit a pillow cover.
Now, for the design of my pillow. I tried knitting a few different patterns, but none of them looked good. So, I looked through my knitting patterns to see if I could use one of those. I found a Marimekko pattern that was easy to do. So, I tried that.. and it looked perfect.
So, the pillow pattern I decided to knit for my pillow is a Marimekko " räsymatto" pattern.
I am really happy with the colours and look of the pillow. It's simplicity works in our apartment.
