Style Color Adjustments
This pattern calls for traditional red, white and blue yarn. By adjusting the shades of each color you can create vintage, country and modern pillow styles.
- Vintage - Choose burgundy, navy blue and white yarn.
- Country - Dusty rose, soft blue, and off white will give the pillows a faded appearance.
- Modern - Bright red, muted blue (similar to denim) and bright white offer a crisp, original look.
