Grainsack Striped Crochet Pillow

"This is an easy pattern for a striped crochet pillow that even an advanced beginner can make! It’s easy enough for an advanced beginner (uses sc, dc and the reverse sc, or you can do another round of regular sc for the edging) It uses 2 skeins or less of yarn, preferably stash yarn (this took almost 1 skein of the MC and less than half a skein of the CC) It works up quickly! You might not think a DK weight pattern will work up quickly, but I found this did work up fast. Yarn: Yarn Bee Soft and Sleek DK, 1 skein in 2 colors (DK weight #3), yarn used is cream (MC) and aquamarine (CC), or you can use any DK yarn that gets gauge Hooks: US size H (5.00mm) Notions: Yarn needle, scissors, 12″ pillow form"
