🌼 Pattern Overview
The Lotus Jewel Pillow Case begins with a magic ring and grows outward in concentric rounds, creating petal-like shapes through puff stitches, front post stitches, and layered chains. Each round builds on the last, giving the pattern its floral, dimensional appearance.
Once the front motif is complete, you’ll crochet a simple solid backing and seam the two sides together, inserting your pillow form before closing it up.
You can make the pillow case removable with buttons or a zipper, or permanently close it for a cleaner finish.
