Kitty-Corner Pillow

The Kitty-Corner Pillow is knit from corner to corner on the bias, with a garter stripe detail. Work the stripes in a highly contrasting colour to make them pop, or go with less contrast for a more muted effect that focuses on the texture.

The pillow is worked in two pieces and then crocheted together along three sides, with a zipper closure in the fourth side to allow for easy washing.
