Peace Pillow – Project Kit (Pre-Order)
Peace Pillow – Project Kit (Pre-Order)
Wherever it sits, the Peace Pillow is a lovely reminder that we can create a more kind, equitable, and gentle world. 🕊️
The digital pattern is available as a free download here.
We are excited to introduce this pattern for a limited time with Lamana Como, a gorgeous 100% extra fine merino yarn. The yardage estimate for each kit factors in enough yarn for the pillow cover in the selected size, plus 10% for a 6- to 8-inch swatch and knitter tension variance.
Please Note: All kits include 1 skein each of Silk Grey (used for C2) and Anthracite (used for C3). Make a selection for your C1 (main color) choice in the drop-down menu.
Below is additional pre-order timeline and pattern information. Select a size and color to see its associated yarn photo.
