View Full Version : My Opulent Pillow

I finished this really neat pillow using the pattern for the Opulent Pillow in the book "Hip to Crochet" by Judith L. Swartz. I really like this book and recommend it highly. I used all of the same yarns that the pattern called for; but some of the colors are different, since some colors were discontinued.

I had a lot of fun making this and using so many different novelty yarns. Although the yarns were a bit pricey, I have enough left over to make another smaller pillow.

Thanks for letting me share! I'm new here and this is my first photo post, so I hope I don't screw it up. :)

that's fantastic! I love cushions and duvets that are the same colour but different on each side.

That cushion rocks :D
