I decided to put in the giant pile of receiving and swaddling blankets we had when my son was born that are now just taking up precious drawer space. Now they've been upcycled into a decorative pillow and we can always remove them for washing if needed!
Materials:
- Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends)
Pattern:
ch27
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch and in each across. (26 sts)
Row 2: *sc in first st, dc in next* repeat to end. Ch1 and turn (26 sts)
Row 3 and beyond: repeat row 2 until the rectangle reaches the desired size, I was running out of yarn at 43 rows
Fold in half and sew up 2 sides. Insert blankets. Using a really long strand of yarn, lace through the open side. Tie a bow and gently poke it inside the pillow.
