Textured Stripe Pillow Cover

Materials:
- Worsted weight yarn: 200 yards in gray and 100 yards in neon green
- Size 8 (5.0 mm) circular knitting needles or preferred length
- Stitch marker
- Tapestry needle

Gauge:
20 stitches and 26 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch. To measure gauge, knit a swatch of 20 stitches across and 26 rows down. Measure the swatch once completed.

Abbreviations:
- CO: Cast On
- K: Knit
- P: Purl
- St: Stitch
- BO: Bind Off

Instructions:

Body:
1. CO 50 stitches using gray yarn.
2. Rows 1-4: K every stitch across (garter stitch).
3. Row 5: Change to neon green yarn, K across.
4. Rows 6-10: Alternate between K and P (creating a textured pattern) across the row.
5. Continue this pattern, changing every 5 rows between gray and neon green yarn until you reach a total length of 20 inches. You should have approximately 10 sections of stripes when completed.

Finishing:
1. BO all stitches in the last row using gray yarn.
2. Weave in all loose ends with a tapestry needle.
3. For a neat edge, block your pillow cover by dampening it and laying it flat to dry—this helps the stitches to even out and sets the shape.

Assembly:
1. Once dried, place your finished piece flat. Fold it in half, matching the edges, to form a pocket for your pillow insert. Sew the sides using a slip stitch or whip stitch, securing the edges tightly.

Optional Variations:
- Experiment with different color combinations or change the stitch pattern to create unique textures.
- Add a button or zipper fastening for an interchangeable look!
