Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight yarn in deep charcoal, midnight blue, and black
• Needles: US 10 (6.0 mm) knitting needles
• Pillow Insert: 18x18 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

Front Panel

1. Cast on 72 stitches using the deep charcoal yarn.
2. Work Rows 1-4: Knit all rows (this creates a garter stitch). This will give your pillow a nice border.
3. Row 5 (Right Side): K3, *yo (yarn over), k2tog (knit two together); repeat from * to last 3 stitches, k3. This creates the lace pattern.
4. Row 6 (Wrong Side): Knit all stitches. This will help the lace pattern pop on the right side.
5. Repeat Rows 5-6 for a total of 40 rows, alternating colors every 10 rows (deep charcoal, midnight blue, black, and repeat). This will create a beautiful gradient effect in your lace.
6. Once you have completed the 40 rows, bind off loosely to ensure the edge remains flexible.

Back Panel

1. Cast on 72 stitches using the deep charcoal yarn.
2. Work in stockinette stitch (knit on the right side, purl on the wrong side) for 60 rows. This will create a smooth back for your pillow.
3. Once you have completed the 60 rows, bind off loosely.

Finishing

1. Block both panels to the correct measurements (18x18 inches) to ensure they are even and the lace pattern opens up nicely.
2. With the right side facing up, sew three sides of the panels together using a mattress stitch. This will create a clean seam.
3. Insert the pillow form into the case you have created.
4. Sew the final side closed using the mattress stitch, ensuring the pillow is securely enclosed.
5. Weave in all loose ends to finish your project neatly.
