This pattern now includes two pdfs: one for the original blue pillow and one for the updated pink version. I have listed the pattern details for both of the “Vintage Girl” pillows here. If you would like to use a different yarn and want your pillow to be the same size as mine, compare the yd/g to determine if it would be a good substitute.

There is a video tutorial on my YouTube channel for the “vintage girl” granny square. There is also a post on my blog which goes over these pattern details and includes some behind the scenes of making this pattern:
