This pillow cover uses 100% cotton yarn to create an interesting, but deceptively easy to knit jacquard design that’s full of color and texture.

The use of offsetting slipped stitches develops the woven appearance and gives extra weight and body to the finished pillow cover. With only one active yarn color per row, the design is very easy to work and results in an interesting project for your home.

Instructions outlining how to easily create the classic twisted cords (that separate the front and back pieces of the pillow) and the corner tassels will be included.

  • Intermediate skill level
  • Fits a standard (16” x 12”) pillow
  • Jacquard front and stockinette back pieces (17” x 13”) are worked separately
