Eukaryotic Cell Pillow
Unleash your inner biology nerd by making this detailed (yet simply) eukaryotic cell pillow.
This pattern was made with scraps of I Love This Cotton yarn from Hobby Lobby. But honestly, you can use whatever worsted-weight yarn you have on hand. All of the little details of this pillow are a great way to use up those yarn scraps.
