The true story behind this project:
(If some of you were wondering about the odd size for this cushion)
This was supposed to be a pajama cushion for me, but somewhere during the design and construction it quickly turned into a cushion cover to rescue an old Winnie The Pooh cushion that was on it’s way to the trash. My daughter’s perfect strategy to keep on asking “What are you doing?” and walking by with the Pooh cushion with a pouting face won the war!

    Hi Amber
    I re-edited Round 1 with some extra indications of how the round is worked – hope this helps 🙂

  2. Not sure about Round 1 for the final border. There is not an * for the beginning of the stitch pattern. Not sure which stitches I need to repeat. Thanks

  5. Adorable pillow! I love the heart in the center and the back! Great way to use up yarn scraps! Thanks for sharing at the Submarine Sunday Link Party!!
