Notes
Stitch patterns are provided in both charted and line-by-line line instructions; work using whichever version you are most comfortable with.
For a good fit, the measurements of the pillow cover should be slightly smaller than the pillow form.
For the Rectangular Pillow, it’s important that the row gauge of the reverse stockinette is tighter than the Mini Lattice Panel so that there are no “wings” at the corners once the form has
been inserted.
The Cable Panel for the Square Pillow has a tighter row gauge than reverse stockinette, and short-rows are added to the cable panel so both cable panels and reverse stockinette sections are about the same length. Ideally, the cable panel will be slightly longer than the reverse stockinette section.
