Lotus Pillowcase

This pillowcase is made up of two different fabric pieces: the front piece and the back piece. First, complete the back piece, then make the front piece. When working on the second-to-last round of the front piece, join it to the back piece and leave an opening. Finally, sew buttons onto the opening position.

Part 1 Back pieceA​ 00' 53'' ​

The back piece is started using the magic ring method, crocheting in rounds counterclockwise outward from the magic ring. Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.
Note: In round 19, alternate crocheting 4 double crochets and 3 double crochets in spaces. For other rounds, the stitch pattern in each space remains identical within the same round.

The front piece is divided into Section 1 and Section 2.

Step 1 Section 1B1​ 12' 42'' ​

Section 1 is started with the magic ring method, and crocheted in rounds counterclockwise. Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.
Note: After completing the second round, the diameter should be about 6.5 cm. If there's a significant difference, you'll need to adjust the height of the incomplete half double crochet and re-crochet.
