Blogger's Pillow Party

I knew from the moment I first heard about the Blogger's Pillow Party, I was going to join in. Right before finding out about it, I had an idea start floating around in my head, perfect timing!

bobbley goodness pillow

I call it "Bobbley Goodness", it's full of bobbles. The texture of it is really nice. The front was so fun to work up, though bobbles use up a lot of yarn. I ran out twice! So, it took me much longer to get this done than it really should have. The mister loves the bobbles so much, he wants me to make him a big blanket just like the pillow. I don't know if that will happen... maybe I'll give it a try sometime.

The back has an envelope opening and on the overlapping flap, I made a picot edging to give it a more finished look.

Here's some details you might want to know about the pillow:
size 6mm hook
20x20 pillow form
yarn used: Bernat Softee Chunky in white, grey heather and tangerine twists

Be sure to check out the rest of the pillows entered over here.

    Your work here is magnificent! I, too, was hoping you might be willing to share a pattern. I especially love the way you've offset the bobbles in each row. And the way you finished the back with the envelope and the picot edging...just delightful!
