Things to do:
1. Cast on 30 sts. Your gauge should be roughly 2 stitches per inch.
2. Knit in garter stitch, which means you knit all the way down, turn your needle around and knit all the way down again, until your work measures about 14 inches.
3. Cast off loosely and repeat the process so that have two identical rectangles of knitting.
4. Stack the two rectangles on top of one another and, using your yarn needle threaded with the same yarn, stitch together three sides of the case.
5. Slip the pillow form into the case and stitch the top closed.
