Step-by-Step Instructions

Front Panel

1. With coral yarn, make a magic ring.
2. Round 1: Chain 1 (Ch 1), then make 8 single crochets (sc) in the magic ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc. (You should have 8 sc)
3. Round 2: Ch 1, then make 2 sc in each sc around. Join with sl st. (You should have 16 sc)
4. Round 3: Ch 1, *sc in the next sc, 2 sc in the next sc*; repeat from * to * around. Join with sl st. (You should have 24 sc)
5. Continue increasing in this manner until the circle measures 16 inches in diameter. Alternate colors in the following sequence: coral, peach, mustard, terracotta. Make sure to join each round with a sl st.

Back Panel

1. Repeat the same steps as for the Front Panel using the same color sequence: coral, peach, mustard, and terracotta.

Assembly

1. Place the front and back panels together with the wrong sides facing each other.
2. Join terracotta yarn at any point along the edge of the panels.
3. Single crochet (sc) through both panels around, leaving a 6-inch opening for the pillow insert.
4. Once the pillow form is inserted, continue to sc to close the opening. Fasten off and weave in any loose ends with your yarn needle.

Fringe

1. Cut 10-inch strands of each color yarn (coral, peach, mustard, and terracotta).
2. Attach fringe to every other stitch along the edge of the pillow using a lark's head knot. To do this, fold a strand in half, place it behind the edge of the pillow, and pull the ends through the loop created by the fold.
3. Trim the fringe to your desired length for a neat finish.
