I love when a knitting design looks like a combination of knitting and sewing, especially as I adore both knitting and sewing. The Cedar Stitch Pillow is a contemporary cozy pillow that features a combination of vertical and horizontal stripes that look a bit like chunky running stitches woven through the knitted fabric.
