This pattern creates it’s fun design using just knit and purl stitches. I am super lazy and hate sewing, so I created this to be worked in the round so there are only 2 sides to sew up instead of 4 (plus it makes for a nice continuous pattern!)

I like when the pillow cover is a little tight on the pillow case, so if I were to make this again, I probably would go slightly smaller on the cast on #, so I added that info in the pattern. But feel free to make the original, especially if your pillow insert is nice and fluffy (unlike my sad, flat pillow form)

This pattern takes about 1 skein of Lion Brand’s bonus bundle Jiffy yarn (650 or so yards) and is a pretty quick knit. I suggest leaving any intense tv shows in the background until you’ve gotten the hang of the pattern though - don’t make my mistake and have to backtrack! ha

If you do make this, I would absolutely LOVE to see how it turns out for you! Feel free to tag me on instagram when you go to show off your work @stitchesbystace

Happy Knitting!
