I may very well rename this blog "French Knot Yarn Pillows". I just love this pillow and the first one I made. They are so much fun and I have so many more ideas for designs.
I think this pillow looks like an explosion, so I'm calling it "the big bang pillow".
I used many of the same techniques used in the first circle pillow. This pillow is also a 16 inch square pillow with an envelope back. I used the same double wrap french knot technique as the first pillow. Here is a description of how I built the design.
Some process pictures:
And the finished product...
