Peace Pillow manifested in early spring which harkens fresh ideas from past inspirations. The latest Folk Art Pillow is reminiscent of childhood times living in Europe & Canada during the 1960s.
This spring I ordered a variety of wool to inspire new pillows. I really like the Patons Classic Bulky 100% wool for featuring the handknit look for Peace Pillow. There was a FREE ball of funky sock yarn added to the last wool order and became the initial inspiration to design a pillow reminisce of the 60s.
* wet felt using roving wool to make a piece of fabric... various colors of green to give a faded and tye-dye appearance and a backdrop to the embroidered peace sign.
* chain stitches in various colors for the peace sign symbol and blanket stitch for the edge
*crochet a border in the funky color sock yarn. Tiny continental stitches give a pop of color and are also used to secure the peace sign to the pillow cover.
* crochet the ends of the bolster and chain stitched a spiraling circle with the colorful sock yarn to bring the eye to the cute colorful pom-poms at the end.
I grew up with the peace symbol and found online where it had originated and for what it was designed. To learn more about the peace symbol that was created in 1958.
The Peace Pillow is a bolster pillow that will tuck into a room with those who are collectors of funky & groovy styles.
