Both crochet pillowcases are very easy to crochet. If you use thick yarn and larger hook, they are done in few hours. The pattern is suitable for beginners – the closing is made of a chain used for tying front and back together. If you use one color and old traditional granny square pattern, you will get a nice accessory to a women boudoir or children’s room. .
