Portis Pillow – Project Kit (Pre-Order)
Portis Pillow – Project Kit (Pre-Order)
Add a bit of graphic fun to any space—indoors or out. The minimal use of offset squares to create a striped pattern brings this stranded colorwork pillow cover to life.
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.
Each Portis Pillow Project Kit includes a free digital pattern, delivered by email at the time of shipping.
Below is additional pre-order timeline and pattern information. Select a size and color to see its associated yarn photo.
Please Note: We have selected the C1 + C2 yarn combinations with the darker of the two colors being C1; however, the opposite colors may be substituted for C1 (lighter) + C2 (darker) upon request. Contact us here.
