Wrap
Pillow

The
Wrap Pillow Cover is made with short rowing so that there
are only a few seams to
sew. Plus there are no buttonholes, so it's easy
for any beginner to knit. Opening for pillow
is hidden under triangle wrap. See below picture
for opening.

What you need
4 oz of each color (Yarn can be any yarn to get stitch
gauge.)
Color A = Green (square)
Color B = Brown (triangle wraps)
1 pillow form
TIP: Make the pillow cover
before buying the pillow form. Then if your pillow
cover doesn't match the exact size, buy the pillow size
that best fits.
