Celtic Knotwork Pillow Pattern

Designed by Sandi Marshall

There are two versions to this pattern. The second is for crocheters
who like more of a challenge, with more intricate knotwork. It's
not as hard as it looks, however; just a matter of carefully
following the color changes on the graph. I designed it with two
or three colors per row, to keep it easier.

Materials:

Worsted Weight Yarn in your choice of color scheme.
There's a suggested color scheme on one of the graph pages.

Size G crochet hook

Print out each of the three graphs for the version you're making.
(Graph 2 is the same for both versions.)
If you find it easier to work from one graph, you may wish to cut
the graphs out, line them up and tape them together to make one graph.

Version 1 Graphs (Easier):
Graphs 1 and 3
Graph 2

Version 2 Graphs (Challenge):
Graphs 1 and 3
Graph 2

With the background color (the blank squares on the graphs),
ch 58.
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in ea ch across. (57 sc)
Rows 2 - 58: sc in ea sc across, following graphs.
Starting at the bottom right of each graph,
follow graphs in this manner:
Crochet 12 sc from graph 1, next 33 sc from graph 2,
last 12 sc from graph 3.
When working wrong side rows, following graphs from left
to right, you will crochet the first 12 sc from graph 3,
next 33 sc from graph 2, last 12 sc from graph 1.
Row 59: With main color, sc in ea sc across.
End off.

Back:
With main color, ch 58.
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in ea ch across. (57 sc)
Rows 2 - 59: sc in ea sc across.
End off.
With right sides together, sew three sides. Turn to right side out.
Stuff or insert pillow form. Sew last side opening closed.
