Star Ripple Round Pillow

Image
      I love fun projects.   Recently, I completed this star-shaped round pillow.   The followings are the basic information: Hook: #F (3.75mm) hook. Yarn: Red Heart super saver color white and color royal Zipper: 14 inches Finished size: 18 inches diameter. Every round is joined using the invisible join method. Every round is turned. Every round is made with single crochet with back loops only.  That is how I get the ridges. Because I want to have a zipper for the pillowcase, I made two pieces and joined in the center at the end. At the last stitch before changing the color , instead of making 1sc, followed by skip 1 stitch, made 2sctog instead.  This was to make a better and smoother color transition. At the end of the whole thing, a tube shaped piece will be done. The most difficult part is the beginning because of trying not to twist the long chain stitches.  Once I carefully manage not to mess up my shape, the rest is easy.
