I’ve prepared 4 different square pattern designs for one side of the pillowcase. Each pillowcase consists of two sides – the 1st side and the 2nd side.

Overlay mosaic crochet: The pillowcases worked continuously in the round from the bottom of the square (tubular crocheting row by row, like a sock or sleeve). Choose any combination of panels you like. However, you can also make each side separately (row by row bottom up) and join them later in any way you prefer.

Interlocking filet crochet: Use any of the included panel patterns for either side. I suggest working main part of a panel row by row bottom up, and then work 2 rounds around the edges. This will give the panel a nice, even border and make it easier to join them with sl st or sc together to form a pillowcase. You can also work the entire width of the panels bottom up and then join them around the edges in any way you prefer.

Terminology: all crochet terms used are U.S.

Technique: Overlay Mosaic or Interlocking Filet crochet with diagonal stitches bottom up row by row.
