Happy Camper Knit Pillow Cover
Have you been camping yet this year? It's often the go-to family tradition for many. But for us in Florida, summer is not usually the time of year for not having AC, at least for me lol. So I brought some of the camping spirits inside with the Happy Camper Knit Pillow Cover.

With each passing year the phrase 'Always Take the Scenic Route' changes. When I was younger it was more literal, wanting to travel and explore the world around me. As I get older it's more a metaphor for taking those risks or branching out to stretch my abilities. Self-confidence can also determine what type of scenic route one is willing to take.
How about you? What scenic route have you taken lately? Feel free to respond in the comments of this post.

Happy Camper Knit Pillow Cover Notes:
- Please note, matching gauge both horizontal and vertical can be difficult. Extra rows can be added at the top if needed so it is more important to match the stitch gauge versus the row gauge. This pattern also has some ease to fit over a pillow.
- This pattern is worked in rows and in two pieces. The front panel will also work a button hole flap to secure the top of the crochet pillow. The front and the back panels will be slip stitched together once completed.
- Since there is a wrong side and a right side to the pillow panels, I used a combination of intarsia and carrying yarn across the back for the color work. Experiment and see what works best for you.

-Burlap fabric can be substituted for the back of the pillow instead of a knit back.
