Anthropologie Inspired Moroccan Pillow Cover Pattern!

If you have spent any amount of time browsing Pinterest for home decor, then you have likely encountered Anthropologie.

I LOVE just about everything I see on their site. I’m often there looking for inspiration and I discovered some just in time for Spring!

I love the LionBrand HOMETOWN USA yarn! I also knew I wanted this pillow to be round. With those two things in mind, I created this piece in hopes to capture a very feminine, bohemian vibe. I believe I nailed it! With the color palate I chose, I think you too will be inspired to create one of these beauties for your own home!

WHAT I USED:

• 16″ round pillow form (found online or JoAnn/Michael’s)
• 2 skeins of LB HOMETOWN USE (I used the colors LasVegas Gold, Providence Pink, Norfolk Merlot, Milwaukee Midnight)
• size 8MM hook
• Tapestry Needle
• Scissors

PATTERN NOTES:

Create both round panels. When finishing your panels, leave one of them with an extra long tail. So as to sew each piece together around the pillow form. On the other panel, you will want to go ahead and weave in your ends.

You will notice on the last round the panel will curl up. This is EXACTLY what you want! This round creates a tighter fit to your pillow cover and helps the lacy stitches to lay correctly.
