Notes

This pillow is worked in one panel, which is folded and joined together at the two sides. The mattress stitch is a good choice for an invisible seam.

For easy removal of this pillow cover, insert a zipper at the bottom, connecting the first and last rows.

The color sequence begins and ends with the charcoal. This gives you a solid color at the bottom to help hide a zipper.
