Such a pretty pillow to give as a gift to someone you care about! It is easy to knit too. We used Caron O GO , Colorama Halo yarn. This yarn is so very soft, and has a beautiful ” halo, self-fading ” effect when knitting, going from darker color to almost white. This pillow works up in less than 2 days by average knitter. Don’t forget to make one for the teen’s bedroom, and one for Grandma’s sofa too! So pretty to use all year long. Uses knitting needles, US # 9
