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.
