    This is knit in a standard popcorn stitch. The pattern I used to come up with the sizing to fit this pillow is: Cast on 40 stitches with a size 10.5 (US) needle Row 1: Purl Row 2: *(K1,P1,K1) all in same stitch, P3 together* *Repeat this until the end of the row Row 3: Purl Row 4: *P3 together, (K1,P1,K1) all in same stitch* *Repeat this until the end of the row I repeated this 4 row pattern for 16 reps to get the length I was looking for.

    Leave a long tail when you bind off so that you can start to sew up the sides using your preferred method of finishing. Position the cover with the right sides touching each other and sew up two sides.
