This is a pillow cover made using matty cloth. Simple pattern darning i.e) pattern using running stitch is used. Inside I have cross stitched the name of my son. I have crocheted the edge for the pillow cover.

ReplyDeleteThanks Lakshmi, Leela.
ReplyDelete@Lakshmi - yes, we have to be very careful in counting. For edging after making blanket stitch I made a single crochet in alternate blanket stitches around. Then I made 4 double crochet in 1st sc, (skip next sc, 1 sc in next stitch, skip next sc, 4 dc in next sc)repeat and continued in this manner around to get a scallop type edging.
lovely shami....simple yet elegant....
ReplyDeleteNice work Shammi ! Using one colour, it looks very elegant and soothing.
