Cactus Garden Pillow set

The Cactus Garden Pillow set captures the spirit of the American southwest. Inspired by the landscapes of the San Juan mountains near Durango, Colorado and the beautiful canyonlands, mountains, and mesas of the Four Corners area of the United States.

This pair of pillows is worked in the mosaic crochet style. Two pillow patterns are included in this set: a Diamond Pillow with the diamond motif centered, and an X Pillow.

These pillows are designed for dk, worsted, or aran weight yarn that works well with a 3.5 mm or 4 mm hook. Lion Brand Vel-Luxe yarn, Lion Brand Mandala yarn, and Caron Simply Soft yarn were used in the sample pillows.

Each pillow is about 16 by 15 inches (40 by 38 cm) to fit an 18-inch (46 cm) square pillow form.

Each pillow requires about 492 yards (450 meters) of yarn: about 246 yards (225 m) of Yarn A and about 246 yards (225 m) of Yarn B. Video tutorials are available on the Pretty Peaceful channel on YouTube.
