This is a pillow cover (front and back) I'm finishing for the pillow-cover swap of the Brazilian crochet list crocheterapia
I used 100% cotton string nr. 2/4 (the thinnest manufactured here), Supremo brand, and a 2.5 mm aluminium hook. I adapted Priscilla Hewitt's 'Square Pineapple Doily' from Priscilla’s Crochet site - I made one pineapple series more and kept adding delta-stitch rows until I got to the size required - 45 cm or 17.5 inches.
I have a doubt: I wish to put a border around the pillow cover. But I tried a fan stitch border and it didn't look right with the pineapples and delta-stitch rows. If someone has any suggestion, I think I could use some good ideas...
Oh my goodness what a beautiful pillow cover you made.. I just had to tell you, Monique.. from Minnesota!
ReplyDeleteYour work is fabulous and one can tell it's stitched with love.
ReplyDeleteHello. I'm Dawn and just came across your website. You share beautiful patterns with us. About the border for your pillow: Have you thought about a plain picot on sc stitches all around? Also, the crown picot stitch would look good, I think. Thanks, ~ Dawn ~
ReplyDeleteOops, I went to the border and saw that you already found one. It is picots and it looks great! Thanks, ~ Dawn ~
