Free pattern: Two-tone knotted pillow cover

Kate from See Kate Sew shares a free pattern for making these two-tone knotted pillows. The corners are shaped so you can tie them into knots. Using a different fabric on the front and the back creates a cool two-tone effect. Her pattern makes a cover for a 15″ x 22″ pillow form. The knotted pillow covers do take quite a bit of fabric (1 yard each for front and back, plus another yard for the lining), but that’s because of the long bunny ear shapes added to the corners to make the knots. She assures that you’ll have some good sized scraps left over.
