The Cowboy Hat throw pillow is hooked in wool. The loops are pulled through the backing one at a time, so the face carries a raised pile you can feel.
Made for the chair nobody sits in and everybody looks at. Set it against smooth linen or velvet and the texture contrast does the styling work for you.
Cut to the outline of a cowboy hat, hooked in pink with a white star on the crown and a thin red line tracing the brim. Shaped pillows like this one break up a row of squares better than another patterned square would.

Hooking is slow work and it shows, in dense wool loops that stand up off the surface and hide the wear flat fabrics show. Wool takes years of handling and comes back looking like itself, which is why these get passed down rather than replaced. Makes a good gift for a housewarming, a decorator friend, or a first apartment.
