Star Ripple Round Pillow

 

 

 

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.
