The 3rd pillow in the Traveling Arrows Home Decor Crochet Pattern Collection is the 12" x 12" pillow. While designing this collection, I wanted to show the beauty of the arrow stitches in a solid white. For some reason, the white arrows just bring a smile to my face. It's one of those moments when you look at it and the color is the same as the stitches around it but that simple texture just shouts out saying "Here I Am!!!" You can't help but look at it.

Sometimes it's fun to mix things up a little though so with the Square Pillow pattern, I added some color to the arrows. Don't you just love that about crochet? Simple little adjustments of color can bring on a whole new look and feel.
