This design is for a pillow cover with two different textured sides. The front side is knit in stockinette with a center horizontal panel with some textured diamond shapes created using purl stitches. The back side is knit using the diamond brocade stitch. Both sides tie together with the diamond shapes and stitch patterns, hence the name the Facet Pillow! This design would work best with a solid, lighter colored yarn to really showcase the texture. The two sides will be knit up as separate squares and seamed together around a 16” x 16” pillow insert. Using Knit Picks Swish Bulky, this design works up in no time.
