If you have never heard of the surface slip stitch you are in for a treat! It is such an easy way to pretty up a crochet project! Surface Slip Stitching is a method where you use the basic slip stitch to make designs or lettering onto the surface of your crochet project. Like in this project I wrote the name Ella (she is Zoe’s friend!) on the front panel of this crochet pillow. I have used this technique on blankets (like THIS ONE ), and on granny squares (like THIS ONE). So much you can do with this simple technique!
Materials to make the pillow:
– Bernat Super Value in Bright Teal (one skein)
– Bernat Super Value in Magenta (one skein)
– Size H crochet hook
– Tapestry Needle
– Poly-fil Fiber Stuffing
– Pom-Pom Maker (optional)
Finished Size: 18 inches long x 10 inches tall
Pillow Panels (make 2):
with blue yarn
Chain 41, SC in second chain from hook and the rest of the way down chain, chain 1, turn
Row 2-80: SC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn.
Fasten off after row 80, weave in ends.
On one of the panels begin to surface slip stitch. I find it easiest to surface slip stitch on a project made up of single crochets like this one. Because of the small stitches you have lots of places to insert your hook and lots of rows/stripes to use as guides.
Here is a short video on surface slip stitching. After about 40 seconds there isn’t audio because I was busy concentrating on the stitches and my dog was barking in the background. Video was mostly meant to be a visual!
You can surface slip stitch in straight rows (easiest) or try your hand at making a name like I did! Experiment and see what you can do!
When you are finished slip stitching on one of the pillow panels you will SC the two panels together with the blue yarn. Make a SC + chain 1 + SC in each corner. Be sure to stuff with poly-fil before closing up. Then add pom-poms to the four corners!

I have a question about surface slip stitching. I know how to bind off, but not sure how to weave in the ends neatly. Since your surface stitch is a different color, do you just weave the ends into the one color on the back? Would that be a bit bulky? Any help would be appreciated. 🙂
Wish you all the luck for all your blogging effort

Ensuring the escalating problem of space debris Check in this site is addressed requires effective regulation and monitoring. With the growing number of satellites, rocket stages, and fragments orbiting Earth, responsible governance is essential to prevent collisions and protect space operations. The implementation of regulatory frameworks is crucial to establish guidelines for responsible behavior in space, including strategies for satellite disposal and mitigation. Additionally, monitoring systems play a vital role by using ground-based radars and space-based sensors to track and catalog space debris. Continuous surveillance enables timely alerts about potential collisions, facilitating proactive measures to prevent further debris accumulation. International collaboration is paramount in developing comprehensive regulations and sharing monitoring data, ensuring the long-term sustainability of space activities while safeguarding critical orbital regions.
