Dawn Brocco's Cable & Tweed Throw Pillow features an I-Cord piped edging, center shaped cable overlay, and textured fabric that add plenty of visual and tactile interest, creating a conversation piece for your living space, which is also soft and comfortable to use.   The design offers just enough knitting complexity to keep you interested, and enough of an easy fabric stitch pattern, to work on in spare moments.  Its overlapped back flap and button closure, ensures easy insert removal, yet gives a secure closure.  Sampled in the new, softer, Kraemer Yarns Naturally Nazareth, for the base fabric, with doubled Stotts Ranch Worsted (a soft and smooth superfine merino/superfine kid mohair blend yarn), for the accents.
