So happy to hear this! Glad it was helpful!

[@eldritchyarnbeing3295]

you're a great teacher! i started knitting a pillow for my friend for her birthday but im a very slow knitter and realized i wouldn't have it done in time, this stitch saved my idea for the pillow because it looks similar to the knit stitch i was using. thanks!😊

[@kathyd7506]

First time attempting a pillow cover. I am using yarn with a J hook (yarn actually called for K but I only have J). My pillow is 16x16 but 55 is way too big. I want the length to be a little on the small side, right? I read somewhere it's better to be snug than a little loose. If you just hold up the foundation row to the pillow, should it just lie on it flat or make it a little smaller, if that makes sense? Thanks!

[@CrazyCoolCrochet]

I'm so happy you're trying my pillow cover! In the description area above (where it says Show More) it says: For 16 x 16 start with a chain of 55. The pattern calls for an H hook. Doesn't matter what the yarn calls for. J will cause larger stitches so be sure you use a tighter tension. And use a #4 yarn that the pattern calls for. Hope this helps!

[@jessicaholmes5715]

I love this pattern! Do you think it would work if I used 3 different colours and made it stripy?

[@CrazyCoolCrochet]

Hi Jess. I'm glad you like this pattern! The easiest way to make this stripey is to use two colors and make the single crochet rows the second color. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

[@dalila6793]

I did 65 sc but i now have 14inch pillowcase. Where did I go wrong?

[@CrazyCoolCrochet]

Hi Dalia. It could be a tension issue. Tension makes a huge difference in the outcome. Or maybe the yarn used? You can still salvage this by starting with a foundation chain in multiples of 2 plus 1. Make your chain longer. Hope this helps!

[@tasidejoode296]

How much yarn does it take to make a 16x16 pillow cover and how many chains and rows to make a 16x16 Thanks

[@CrazyCoolCrochet]

This detail is included in the description area above. Click "See More" or the little arrow next to the name of the video "Easy Crochet Alpine Stitch Pillow". Start with a chain of 51 and make as many rows as you need for the length of the pillow (16 inches). Thank you for watching!

[@giulialawrence3663]

I'm trying to figure out how to make this pattern with a yarn that states on the package that 1" = 4 sc. I can't figure out how to compare this against the Loops & Threads Soft & Shiny which does not have that information on its package. Please help! (I'm a beginner in case that isn't obvious. :))

[@CrazyCoolCrochet]

Don't worry about what the package (wrapper) says. Just get a #4 yarn and follow the tutorial. Using a softer #4 with a bit of sheen like I used gives you a more sophisticated look. After you work the first couple of rows hold the work against your pillow to check for fit. Adjust your hook size if you need to go bigger or smaller. Or grab the written pattern for different size pillow. Have fun. Don't over think.

[@RTenderholt]

Do the chains at the beginning count as part of your count? I made this pillow 2 years ago and I can't remember if you are supposed to count the ch 1 or ch 2 at the beginning of the rows.

I have a cushion 45x 45 how many stitches and rows do I need to do

Wow. That's huge. I haven't made any cushion covers that large so I can't tell you an exact chain count. You can use a multiple of 2 plus 1 to get to your size. Hope this helps!

I am a big ginger, I would like to make a 12x 20 pillow case, how long and how many rows would I need.?

Thank you for watching. I would try a starting chain of 75 and 19 rows. That's an educated guess as I haven't actually worked one up that size. It should work though!

Hi! How many chains would you suggest if I wanted to make my pillow 12x12?

Hello ladybug! I would start with a chain of 45. Check that width against your pillow. If you need to adjust, use a multiple of 2 plus 1. I hope this helps.

Hi, can this be made with Bernat velvet Yarn without getting undone ?

You probably don't want to use a velvet yarn for this. You will end up with a larger pillow cover and the delicate stitch will look thick and rough. You can try a swatch and see how it looks though.
