Celestial Pillow
© by Linda Gelb, January 2002
© Graph by my daughter, Stacey Gelb

     My daughter asked me to make her a pillow with stars and moon to go with the décor of her college room. I asked her to find a picture or graph that she likes. She found this in clipart from our Word program and put it to graph. This was her first time working with my PC Stitch Program.
     This pattern is done in the afghan stitch. To do it in sc or dc, reverse every other row to allow for the turning or the work.
