This project is the perfect touch for a lonely chair, or the finishing touch to your couch. The simple knit is fast and easy but brings warm and a touch of hominess to your space. Use neutrals like grey, beige, or cream, or natural shades of blues or green to have a pillow that can be displayed in multiple seasons. This pillowcase is the perfect TV, audiobook, or podcast knitting, as it has just enough pattern to keep it interesting!

You have the choice to either display the cover with the buttons facing out, or the textured front. Gauge is important for this project.

You will need a 16x16 inch pillow insert - be aware that the quality of your insert will greatly affect the overall appearance, I used a cheap insert, and it fails to fill out the pillow cover.
