About this design

The flower fills almost the whole square, so the pillow reads clearly from across a room. Twelve wavy petals in Sunflower are edged with Mustard, which gives each one a shadowed outline without needing a darker brown. The seed head is mostly Chocolate, with Cinnamon blocks scattered through it on a regular diagonal and a solid Cinnamon ring around the edge, so it looks textured rather than flat. The background is Baby Blue, a soft summer sky that keeps the yellow bright.

Size and yarn

The graph is 30 × 30 blocks and is worked in 59 diagonal rows from the bottom-right corner. With 2.5 cm blocks (worsted yarn and a 5 mm hook) it measures about 75 × 75 cm; with 2 cm blocks in DK yarn it is about 60 × 60 cm. The largest colour is Baby Blue, with 464 of the 900 blocks. The colours are our own named shades, so choose the closest yarn you can buy, and weigh a ten-block swatch to turn the block counts into an accurate yarn amount. Make two fronts, or back it with plain baby-blue fabric, and stuff with a 40 cm pillow form.
