Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight yarn, approximately 250 yards
• Needles: US Size 10 (6.0 mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 12 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Pillow Form: 18 inches by 18 inches
• Scissors
• Tapestry Needle for weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 60 stitches onto your knitting needles. Make sure your stitches are evenly spaced and not twisted.
2. Work in Ribbing:
   • Work in a 2x2 ribbing pattern (Knit 2, Purl 2) for 2 inches. This will create a nice border for your pillow.
3. Begin Cable Pattern:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): *Knit 4, Purl 2, Cable 6 Front (C6F) - this means you will slip 3 stitches onto a cable needle and hold it in front of your work, knit the next 3 stitches from your left needle, then knit the 3 stitches from the cable needle, Purl 2; repeat from * to the end of the row.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): *Purl 4, Knit 2, Purl 6, Knit 2; repeat from * to the end of the row.
4. Repeat Rows: Continue to repeat Rows 1 and 2 for a total of 24 inches. Keep an eye on your tension to ensure the pattern remains consistent throughout.
5. Bind Off: Once you have reached the desired length, bind off your stitches in pattern to maintain the integrity of the ribbing and cable design.
6. Seaming:
   • Fold the knitted piece in half with the right sides facing each other.
   • Using the mattress stitch, seam the sides together. This technique will create an invisible seam, ensuring your pillow looks polished.
7. Insert Pillow Form: Carefully insert your 18x18 pillow form into the opening of your knitted cover.
8. Finish Seaming: Seam the remaining edge using the mattress stitch to close the pillow completely.
9. Weave in Ends: Use a tapestry needle to weave in any loose ends, ensuring that your work is tidy and ready for display.
