Since I failed at making the pillow cover I wanted and ended up making the Receiving & Swaddling Blanket Hider Throw Pillow, I still had to come back to what I should use to cover this pillow. I still stuck with the same basic pattern, but I used more of a smaller weight yarn. Materials Needed: Approx 10oz of Worsted Weigh t or similar yarn, I used Red Heart Super Saver Ombre Yarn 10 oz Baja Blue 5mm Crochet Hook Stitch Marker Tapestry needle (for weaving in ends) Pattern: ch37 Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch and in each across. (36 sts) Row 2: *sc in first st, dc in next* repeat to end. Ch1 and turn (36 sts) Row 3 and beyond: repeat row 2 until the rectangle reaches desired size, or you're almost out of yarn. Now, fold your cover over the pillow so that a few inches overlap. You may have to stretch your cover out a bit to do this. Use stitch markers to make off where the 2 ends touch. Once you have it lined up as pictured, sew it together on both sides.
