Be the Yin to my Yang

Off course, my hubby will be the Yin to my Yang !

But that has nothing to do with today's blog post. :-D

I just want to show you my brand new crochet pattern ! I have always loved Yin Yang -ie stuff.

I love the straight forward shapes, their symmetrie, but also the philosophy behind it;

Black and white, negative and positive, each other's opposites, heavy and light, and so on. And I just felt I needed to create something Yin Yang -ie. :-D

So here it is, a Yin Yang Pillow Cover !

I have been working on this design for ages, it was a huge (personal) challenge and I had several moments where I just wanted to give up.  I'm glad I didn't, I just love the end result ! It looks wonderful, just sitting in my rattan garden chair. The pillow cover in the pictures was made using Stylecraft Special DK (acrylic yarn) and crochet hook E (3,5 mm). Finished size will be approx. 16.5" x 16.5" (42 x 42 cm), suitable for a slightly smaller pillow insert. (for example 15.75" x 15.75" (40 x 40 cm) The crochet pattern for this pillow cover is now available in my shops at

RAVELRY           and           ETSY

Click the links above to see more pictures and info about the crochet pattern. Wishing you a nice day, start of the week !
