Keep the seaside vibe going at home with our Oceanic Chevron Crochet Pillow. The chevrons in rich shades of blue ripple around this pillow case that closes with a pair of cute buttons — maybe mother of pearl or shells? A lovely piece to complement the pillow is The New Arrow Throw. Designed where crochet meets quilting, this bold throw is built from squares that you crochet in triangles of different shades of blue with cloud-bright white. You’ll really enjoy watching the chevron shapes emerge as you connect your finished squares.
