Bowie Latch Hook Pillow Tartan Pattern
Bowie Tartan, Source: Scottish Tartans World Register
Bowie Clan Tartan
Threadcount for the Bowie tartan is taken from a Lochcarron sample in 1979. The tartan sample is from Roy Bowie, but no other source or date is given.
About Your Latch Hook Pillow Top
The tartan pattern uses regular 3.75 squares-to-the-inch latch hook canvas. Recommended canvas size is at least 20”x20”. The large finished pillow top is 16”x16” (60 squares x 60 squares). If a smaller pillow top is desired, an area approximately 11”x11” (40 squares x 40 squares) is marked on the pattern.
To allow for the combination of two colors in one square and make a tartan-like pillow top, the latch hook tartan pillow uses medium weight acrylic knitting/crochet yarn instead of the usual precut latch hook yarn. Cut the knitting/crochet yarn into 3 inch lengths, and use two 3” yarn lengths for each square, following the color chart provided.

It is not a picture of the final product and does not represent the soft, plush tartan-like pillow top you will achieve. Please refer to the samples pictured on the Product Samples page for an example of how the finished product will look.
