  The gauge will change when working bobble stitches, so in the beginning the crocheted piece will be smaller than the final dimensions of the pillowcase, but after working the bobble stitches and stretching the piece, the dimensions will fit. In this way, the pillow case will have a snug fit, which makes the final result look nice.
