• Hook Size: 5.5 mm (I/9)
• Stuffing: Polyester fiberfill or pillow form

10 stitches x 10 rows = 4 inches in pattern

Pillow Front:

Round 1: Ch 36, sl st to first ch to form a ring.
Round 2: Ch 2 (counts as first hdc), hdc in each ch around (36 hdc), join with sl st.
Round 3: Ch 1, sc in each stitch around, join.

Repeat rounds 4-6 until the piece measures 18 inches square, ending on a bobble round.

Pillow Back:

Repeat the front pattern but work only up to Round 5 without the bobbles. This creates a flat back for the pillow.

2. Using the yarn needle, slip stitch around the edges, leaving a 6-inch opening.
3. Turn the pillow right side out and stuff it with fiberfill or insert the pillow form.
4. Whip stitch the opening closed.

Optional:

Add a decorative border or fringes to the pillow edges for an extra touch.
