Wrights Crocheted Pillow BandCrocheted Pillow Band with Soft Flowers

Decorate wonderful, soft, coordinated pillows and a matching afghan to cuddle up with for the cold weather ahead! Be the envy of your friends as they realize you did it yourself.

Our directions are for the pillow, but all you need to make a coordinated afghan is purchase one in a color that matches the pillow, and make a crocheted vine and some flowers using our Bloom Loom, same as for the pillow, and position them along the hem (as in the photo below)!

Don't know how to crochet? Simply go to the classroom and under the category Needlework, see our instructions on how to single crochet and chain stitch!
