All four squares are done and blocked. Once all four squares were done, I grabbed my 40” circulars and picked up stitches around the Marled square. It didn’t take me long to work the 14 rounds that I had determined would give me enough yarn for two pillows. My yarn estimate was pretty good. Next I worked the border around one of the Mustard squares, and then I started joining them with an I-Cord three-needle bind-off using leftover Marl yarn. And now I have one cushion cover almost complete.
The pattern has you work two rounds of unattached I-cord at the corner before working the corner stitch, but I split that up around the corner stitch, working one unattached round before and one after. I think it works better. When I got to the fourth side I only did the I-cord bind off on one square, and did a regular bind off on the other square and I’m going to put in a zipper so I can take the covers off the pillows if I need to. I’ve ordered the pillow forms and invisible zippers and will get them on Monday. I’ve already started working the border on the second Mustard square.
