Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn, approximately 400 yards
• Needles: US 8 (5mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 18 stitches and 24 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch
• Pillow Form: 18 inches by 18 inches

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 80 stitches onto your US 8 (5mm) knitting needles. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for an even tension throughout the project.
2. Ribbing: Work in a 2x2 ribbing pattern (K2, P2) for 1 inch. This will create a nice border for your pillow. Remember to keep your tension consistent.
3. Begin Cable Pattern:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): K2, P2, then repeat the following sequence: *C6F (Cable 6 Front), P2; repeat from * until you have 2 stitches left, then K2.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): P2, K2, then repeat the following sequence: *P6, K2; repeat from * until you have 2 stitches left, then P2.
4. Repeat Cable Rows: Continue to repeat Rows 1 and 2 for a total of 10 inches. This will form the main body of your pillow with the beautiful cable design.
5. Binding Off: Once you have reached the desired length, bind off your stitches in pattern (K2, P2) to maintain the ribbing effect at the top edge of your pillow.
6. Make Two Panels: Repeat the above steps to create a second identical panel for your pillow. You will need two panels to complete the pillow cover.
7. Sewing the Panels: Place the two panels together with the right sides facing each other. Sew three sides together using a whip stitch or your preferred sewing method, ensuring the edges are aligned and secure.
8. Insert Pillow Form: Carefully insert your 18x18 pillow form into the sewn cover. Make sure it is evenly distributed within the cover.
9. Close the Final Side: Sew the final side closed, ensuring the stitches are tight and secure to keep the pillow form inside. You can use a mattress stitch for a seamless finish.
