holes. Position the buttons where

you want to have them and mark

Join the two parts. I chose

single crochet joining. You

don't have a bad or a good

side with the moss-stitch and

the single crochet joining can

be very decorativ. So you can

decide to not evert the cover. I

joined the Aster part with

Aster and the Silver part with

Silver etc and turned the

inside out after joining.

Sew the buttons on and cover the pillow. Voilá! Your Masterpiece is done :)
