About the Pattern:
A delicate vine wanders gracefully up one side of this cozy pillow, paired with colorful plaid on the other side. Embellish the vine with crochet flowers, leaves, and surface crochet. Surface crochet also completes the vertical lines in the plaid. With two gorgeous sides, it’s hard to decide which one to show!
Here's what you can expect in our app:

Where anything feels possible
Meet the Spinners
Over the course of the last 13 years, we've created our own little cottage industry within the Indian economy where 16 Indian women create our yarns! There’s just so much that goes into each and every skein and none of it would be possible without this team, right here, making it all happen. One of my favorite things about being there is that anything feels possible. Read more on the blog: India Team + Trip Recap.
