Assembling the Pillow

We are going to begin by slip stitching the two sides together. First, we will work along three sides, then we will turn the pillowcase right side out, next we’ll insert the pillow and then finally, we’ll slip stitch the pillow closed.

To begin, face the right sides towards each other. Align the corners so that the stitches of both sides are aligned with each other. Sl st along the first side, continuing on to do 3 sides total. Next, flip the pillowcase so that the right side is facing out.

Next, insert the pillow. I like to add extra fiber fill but this step is optional! I just really like my pillow fluffy. Lastly, you’ll sl st along the final side to close. Fasten off, and you’re all set!

Did you know that the Selburose is meant to represent a flower? I always thought it was a snowflake! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Instagram post 2193247080864453533_7643944 For the next few days, we're going to be looking at the stockings a little closer. This is my stocking and I couldn't love it more! If you haven't been able to tell, I'm moderately obsessed with trees. My biggest tattoo is a tree. My blog's name is based off of the myth of a tree. And when I pass, I'd like to have a tree planted on top of me.

It made sense that I'd pick some kind of scene with trees for my stocking. And I would bet that I'm not the only tree-hugger out there! 🎄💖🎄 PDFs for the colorwork charts are up on my blog. Link in bio ❄

Instagram post 2192447742865293887_7643944 My Christmas excitement is growing every day! Having such wonderful decorations around makes it so easy to feel the spirit. These stockings are crocheted using the wasitcoast stitch. This stitch creates a sturdy fabric that looks almost identical to the stockinette stitch!

Instagram post 2191632636589891855_7643944 My #wip this week is a 𝘬𝘯𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘦𝘥 cowl pattern. The cowl itself is done, but I'm still putting the finishing touches on next week's blog post. This'll be my first knit pattern! I consider this to be a kind of rite of passage for myself. When I first began working on my #craftyarncouncilcertification, I discovered that I also needed to be good at knitting. And not just to teach! Doing both was even more important if I wanted to be taken seriously as a crochet designer. Actually, just working in a local yarn shop requires sound knowledge of both! And while I am quite experienced at crocheting, I am still relatively new to knitting. But good enough to write a pattern now 🥳

This pattern is going to be beginner friendly. We will utilize your two favorite skeins of that beautiful indie dyed, worsted weight, yarn that you've had stashed away for way too long. 
For mine, I used 2 merino bulky skeins of the colorway "Angel Rust" by @fiber.for.the.people. And guys I am freaking obsessed! The hints of teal mixed with that beautiful deep burgundy. It's gorgeous and it is so soft.

Keeps your eyes peeled because this pattern will be ready next Thursday (12/12)! #workinprogress #knitting #knittedcowl #yarnporn #yarnlover #yarnaddict #yarnlove #knittersofinstagram #yarn #knitstagram #handdyedyarn #instaknit #knitted #igknitters #crochetersofinstagram #instaknitting #knittersoftheworld #wooladdict #wool #knittersofig #knitter #handknit #makesomething
