Find the very middle of your center basting line and place a pin there. Speaking of cutting- DON’T CUT YET! You are going to make your design on your sweater before you cut it out, so don’t get ahead of yourself or you’ll run the risk of it unraveling or stretching apart. Don’t cut it and waste length and worry about unraveling if you don’t have to!

It was a rib knit (knit one, purl one), but you could use a sweater with any kind of stitch you’d like to make one of these.

I used what’s called a duplicate stitch to make the pink heart. I decided it needed a big pink heart, just in time for Valentine’s Day! I didn’t want a boring pillow and I needed it to be extra squishy. I had held onto an old grey sweater and saved it to make my own, and I finally got around to stitching it this week.
