The Island Stroll CAL 2022

SistersInStitch + Yarn and Colors

“Come away with me and take a stroll by the sea and listen to the song of the ocean on the
docks. 
Lets saunter in the sunlight and feel the summer slowly arrive, and take a walk in the deep woods of the island. Let’s exhale and take some time to simply be, to relax and create. Let’s travel in the mind to the Swedish archipelago and all the beauty it has to show.”

Pillow: Part 10: The Triangles

whoop whoop!

The tenth (and second to last) week has arrived and this time we are about to make the final pieces for our Island Stroll CAL pillows: the four triangles. Filled with bobbles, front- and backposts these beauties will tie our project together and bring it all to a whole: taking it from a blanket design and turning it into a stunning pillow. 

A little note before we begin:

For this week we will be using different patterns for the blanket and pillow, if you are making the blanket you’ll get to the “Joining and Border Part 1” pattern by clicking here

Below you will find the downloadable pattern files for the pillow: one in color and one as a printer friendly version. As we only know how to speak English (and Swedish) here at SistersInStitch: the pattern are written in US-terms and the comprehensive stitch by stitch tutorials will be shown in that too. 

In the Island Stroll CAL: Stitch Guide you will find techniques, abbreviation and terminology lists to help you out a long the way, and they are including UK and Swedish shortenings!
