Proof you can get inspiration from anywhere--here's a crocheted pillow cover that I designed after admiring retro-style formica samples. The yarn is Jeans, from the Lion Brand company, a very soft and pretty yarn, one of my favorites.
"One of the easiest and quickest ways to spruce up a room is to add some lively throw pillows. This easy project is embellished with surface crochet inspired by mid-century patterns, made up-to-date in the comfy colors of Lion Brand Jeans yarn."--Crochet World
You can find the pattern in the latest issue of Crochet World (February 2023). It's perfect for a beginner, or for an experienced crocheter who wants a quick and simple project.
