Inspired by the hidden currents beneath California’s landscape, the River Textured Pillow is a stunning blend of movement and structure. Its central motif of alternating large and small not-quite-cables mimics the convergence of underground water sources, while angled stitches ripple across a reverse stockinette background. Finished with elegant tassels, this pillow invites both visual intrigue and tactile appeal—an artful nod to nature’s unseen pathways.
The pillow is knit in the round and utilizes a sock-inspired cast on that eliminates most of the seaming. A ridge is knit into each side to mark where the tassels will attach and make placement easier.

The poncho is worked flat, overlapped and stitched together.
