• This pattern has a few important steps where you need to pay particular attention, such as the increases at the beginning and the decreases at the end of the project. Otherwise it is repetitive and schematic and you will be able to work quickly.
• The pillow cover is particularly impressive when worked with a multicoloured or self-striping yarn.
