Pattern notes

• Front piece uses colorwork: Wings of Freedom motif centered on the piece. You can choose to do Intarsia wings or embroidery after knitting as a duplicate stitch. If you want a quick option, knit the front in cream and add wings by embroidery with gold thread.
• Back piece is knit in the same measurement as front using the background color; seams are at the sides and bottom; top can be left open or closed with a simple slip stitch seam or with a crocheted edge.

Gauge and sizing

Gauge: 20 stitches/26 rows per 4 in (10 cm) in stockinette with US 7. That corresponds to approximately 5 stitches per inch and 6.5 rows per inch. Based on gauge, cast on stitches to reach the width of your pillow piece. For example, for 18 in wide, cast on 90 stitches; for 20 in wide, cast on 100 stitches; for 22 in wide, cast on 110 stitches.

Front piece instructions (18×18 size as example)

1. Cast on 90 stitches in background color. Work in stockinette until piece measures 18 in tall.
2. Leave the wings motif area for colorwork: You can add wings by intarsia; For a simpler option, embroider wings later on the front using gold thread.
3. Bind off all stitches.

Back piece

Cast on the same number of stitches (90) in background color. Work until 18 in tall. Bind off.

Finishing

Block pieces to dimensions; place front and back wrong sides together; seam sides and bottom using mattress stitch; leave top edge open or add a facing to close. Insert pillow form and close top with an invisible seam or left open with an inner envelope style opening.

Wings motif options

Option A: Intarsia wings on the front using a Wings of Freedom chart. Option B: Duplicate stitch embroidery on top of a finished front piece in gold or metallic thread. If you use embroidery, plan wings to start roughly in the center of the front piece and extend about 16–20 stitches high depending on size.

Care

Machine wash gentle, lay flat to dry.
