The Pillow Pattern Steps

Front of Pillow

• To make the front of the pillow you will need to use my square crochet pattern which can be found here → Simple Square Pattern. Make 9.
• You may block your squares after you are done if you wish. One Dog Woof has a great tutorial on how to build your own blocking station, which can be found here –> DIY blocking station.
• After you have blocked you can start joining together your squares. I used my yarn needle and did an invisible seam. Here is a tutorial from Oombawka Design  –> Invisible Seam Tutorial
• Now that the squares are sewn together you now need to attach the buttons (optional) 1 at every corner of your center square.
• Finished size should be approx. 15×15″

Back of Pillow:

(Gauge is approx. 10 hdc’s for every 4″)

• Row 1: With white, ch 35, in 2nd chain from hook half double crochet, half double crochet in every ch across, turn. (34)
• Row 2: Chain 1, starting in second chain from hook half double crochet, half double crochet in every chain across, turn. (34)
• Row 3- 25: Repeat row 2 (34)
• Weave in loose ends with yarn needle.

Finishing

• Using white yarn, single crochet along edges of front and back of the pillow while evenly holding them together. Making sure they are both facing the correct direction.
• In every corner, single crochet, chain 1, single crochet.
• You will make 35 single crochets across every edge. 37 including corners.
• Make sure to only do 3 sides and then insert your pillow form. Continue single crocheting across last side to finish your pillow. Fasten off yarn and weave in loose ends.
