Tie off

Assembly

Repeat the same steps for the second panel, but when you tie off leave a long, long, long tail! Take at least double the length of the triangle you just created.

Cut your extremely long tail and use your tapestry needle to whip stitch both triangle panels together.

Once you reach the third side, whip stitch until about half way and then pause to start stuffing your pillow with polyfil stuffing.

Once you’re done stuffing, continue whip stitching the rest of the way. When you reach the top weave in your ends as much as you can so your pillow is extra secure.

Create your pom pom of any color using the Clover Pom Pom Maker or any other method you prefer and secure it to the top of your pillow!
