A horse canters under a canopy of trees by moonlight…bliss!

This knitted pillow cover is worked flat in one piece on circular needles in stockinette and bordered with seed stitch. The sides fold to the back and are overlapped in a buttoned closure.

It is worked in a combination of intarsia and stranded techniques. It was worked in Red Heart Soft yarns but any worsted weight yarn will work if knitted to the stated gauge.

You will also need

  • five (5) buttons of your choice for the closure
  • 16”x16” pillow form yarn stitch markers ( at least 9) 2 US 6 (4mm) circular needles 30” or longer One more US 6 needle for three-needle bind off One 5mm or Size H crochet hook for the provisional cast on Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

The charts included for the pattern can be ether viewed on screen or printed
Additionally, I use the knitting program Knitting Chart https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/knitting-chart/id1251317736
to create my designs. There is a free version of this app that can be used to read the charts and it also has a row counter and other helpful tools.
There will be instructions in the purchased pattern how to get the chart files, if you want to use the Knitting Chart app to read the charts. (Very helpful, but not crucial)
Can you hear the hoofbeats?
