Net Border Pillow Case Cover

Been out of the blogging habit for a bit (woh, school), but here is a little DIY to get back into the swing of things.

This is a cool pillow cover.  It's almost the same as the Simple  Pillow Cover, but uses the net stitch around the edge, giving it a little extra awesome.






So... to make this... you will need all the same materials as the Simple Pillow Cover.  Follow all the steps up until the single crochet seam that surrounds the square.

This is where it changes... 
Ch 1.  *1 sc in the first sc of previous row.  Ch 5 and skip the next 3 sc.  Repeat from * around.  Join with sl st.

Ch 1.  *1sc in the ch-5 space of previous row.  Ch 5.  Repeat from * around.  Join with sl st.

Ch 1.  *1 sc in the ch-5 space of previous row.  Ch 4.  Repeat from * around.  Join with sl st.  Cut, bind off, and weave in loose ends.

Cut 8 inch pieces of fringe.  Take two pieces at a time and loop and thread them through each ch-4 space around the pillow (making 4 inches in fringe length).

Take a needle and thread and sew the zipper across the pillow opening.   Insert the pillow, zip it shut, and throw it on your, couch/bed/pillow pile!

Woo hoo!  You're done!
