PATTERN NOTES
This pillow cover is knit in the round from the bottom up. After completion, the live stitches are divided in half and grafted together to close the top of the pillow. A zipper is installed along the bottom edge.

This pattern uses the stranded method for colorwork. There are several instances in which you must carry one color across long distances. Be sure to trap your floats every 4-5 stitches to prevent puckering in the fabric. Please note that the stranded colorwork motif is charted only.
