GAUGE
Exact gauge is essential for proper size. Before beginning your Pillow Cover, make a sample swatch in the stitch, yarn, and needle specified. After completing the swatch, measure it, counting your stitches and rows carefully. If your swatch is larger or smaller than specified, make another, changing needle size to get the correct gauge. Keep trying until you find the size needle that will give you the specified gauge.
KNIT 2 TOGETHER
(abbreviated K2 tog) Insert the right needle into the front of the first two stitches on the left needle as if to knit (Fig. 1), then knit them together.
Fig. 1
PURL 3 TOGETHER
(abbreviated P3 tog) Insert the right needle into the front of the first three stitches on the left needle as if to purl (Fig. 2), then purl them together.

After a knit stitch, before a purl stitch Bring yarn forward between the needles, then back over the top of the right hand needle and forward between the needles again, so that it is now in position to purl the next stitch (Fig. 5b). After a purl stitch, before a knit stitch Take yarn over right hand needle to the back, so that it is now in position to knit the next stitch (Fig. 5c).
