• Gauge: 14 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in single crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Chain Foundation: Using the cream yarn, make a slip knot and chain 60. This will match the width of your pillow.
2. Row 1: Single crochet in the second chain from the hook and across the entire row. Turn your work.
3. Row 2: Chain 1, then single crochet in each stitch across. Turn your work.
4. Row 3: Begin the cable pattern:
   • *Front Post Double Crochet (FPdc) around the next 4 stitches, then Back Post Double Crochet (BPdc) around the next 4 stitches.*
   • Repeat from * to * across the row. Turn your work.
5. Row 4: Chain 1, single crochet in each stitch across. Turn your work.
6. Repeat Rows 3 and 4: Continue alternating between the cable pattern and single crochet rows, changing colors every 8 rows, until your piece measures the length of your pillow.
7. Finishing: Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle.
8. Seaming: Fold your piece in half with the right sides together. Seam the sides using a slip stitch or your preferred seaming method.
9. Final Touch: Turn the pillow cover right side out, insert your pillow, and seam the final edge to close it up.
