Starry Treasure Pillow
Lion Brand® Cotton-Ease® (new)
GAUGE: 17 sts + 24 rows=4 in. [10cm] in Stockinette st (k on RS, p on WS). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
STITCH EXPLANATION: M1p (make 1 purl st) Lift the horizontal thread lying between the needles and place it onto left
needle. Purl this new stitch through the back loop.

| Starry Treasure Pillow Reviewed by Erin Getty on 2008-06-30 |
 |
| I made this pillow for my 6-year-old daughter. It was very easy to follow the pattern and it turned out exactly as pictured. My daughter uses it to swap her teeth for money with the Tooth Fairy, and sometimes I put little notes or treats in the pocket for her to find.
