Dunes and Sea is a crochet pattern for a pillow case. The front is made of 16 two-coloured squares and the back is just rows of half double/half treble crochet. It closes with three buttons.

Each square measures around 12x12cm/4.7x4.7in. I have used the following quantities of yarn:

Scheepjes Spirit 302 Wolf: 500m/547yds
Scheepjes Spirit 304 Lion: 273m/298yds
Scheepjes Spirit 309 Dolphion: 269m/294yds

Bear in mind that these quantities may change depending on your gauge and/or if you use a different yarn/hook.

The pattern contains written instructions and a chart. Also, the more uncommon stitches are explained. All my contacts are mentioned on the pattern in case you have in questions. If you prefer to check my writing style first, you can download my free pattern Pico.

I have used extended stitches and post stitches in order to give it a nice wavy texture that reminds us of the sand and the sea. It also makes the pattern a bit more interesting and challenging to make.

Due to the fact that the squares have two colours, that will allow you to arrange them in different ways and create different geometric patterns personalising your work.

I hope you enjoy making this pillow case and that it will make that little corner of your house a bit more comfortable and fun.
