This pattern is for a Comforter, a Bolster Case, and a Pillowcase. It requires about 2 1/4 yards (48” or 54” width) of linen or other suitable fabric, cut to size per different diagrams. Ecru satin ribbon for the bolster.

Gauge: 2 3/8” = 13 meshes and 12 rows in pattern stitch

The pattern has a difficulty rating of “Top Expert”. It assumes some skills:

  • The ability to adjust the number of stitches on each rectangle of fabric to match the crochet pattern.
  • The ability to cut the fabric, fold over the edge and do a round of SCs. It has no explanation for doing the required holes.
