Betty Boop pillow

[Loralynn]

I have been wanting to try a graph-ghan for a while now. I thought it best to start out with a small project, however, so my Betty pillow was born!

 

Once I got the hang of it, it wasn't bad going. Being a perfectionist though, I didn't really like the lack of definition to the piece. So, I just "yarn embroidered" over the areas that I felt needed a little help! I added a sewn back for easy removal that is white with little black roses on it.

 

I think I will stick with little projects as doing the yarn embroidery really isn't an option with an afghan if I want the back to look neat.

 

All said and done, I really love my new Betty pillow!

That is great, if my sister in TN saw it she'd be bugging me to make one. Terrific job.

You did a great job, being it's your first time, I really like it, and it is pretty, I love doing graph stuff they are time consuming, but the end results are always fabulous. :cheer:cheer:cheer

Thanks everyone! I am thinking of trying my hand at another pillow but with Tinkerbell on it this time. I like the little projects for this type of crochet. I think I might get overwhelmed with a large project.
