Knitted Heart Pillowcase Pattern
For this project, you will need:
- approximately 200 g (240 m) of bulky yarn for needle size 6 (I used Tanja yarn, but you can use a different yarn)
- size 6 (US 10) circular knitting needles 80cm
- crochet hook size 5 or 6
- scissors
- 2 stitch markers and row counter (optional, but very useful for beginners)
- a pillow size 40 to 40 cm
You can make this pillowcase by knitting in the round or knitting two parts. Below is the description for knitting in the round. But you can use the pattern for one side and knit both sides separately.
Cast on 102 stitches and join the first and last stitches.

Cast off stitches, cut the thread approximately 80 cm, and then, using a crochet hook, stitch together both sides of the pillowcase.
Do the same for the bottom part, or you can sew in a zipper.
