Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed steps to create your Cozy Waves Pillow:

   • Dc in the next 3 chains.
   • In the next chain, make 3 dc (this creates the ripple).
   • Dc in the next 4 chains.
   • Repeat the following pattern: skip 2 chains, dc in the next 4 chains, 3 dc in the next chain, dc in the next 4 chains. Continue this pattern across the row.
   • Turn your work.
4. Row 2:
   • Chain 3 (this counts as your first dc).
   • Dc in the next 3 dc.
   • In the next dc, make 3 dc.
   • Dc in the next 4 dc.
   • Repeat the following pattern: skip 2 dc, dc in the next 4 dc, 3 dc in the next dc, dc in the next 4 dc. Continue this pattern across the row.
   • Turn your work.
5. Change Colors:
   • Switch to Color B (Ocean Blue) and repeat Row 2.
   • Then switch to Color C (Sandy Beige) and repeat Row 2.
6. Continue Alternating Colors: Keep alternating colors every two rows until your piece measures 16 inches in length.
7. Finishing Up:
   • Fasten off your yarn and weave in all loose ends using a yarn needle.
8. Assembly:
   • Fold the completed piece in half with the right sides facing each other.
   • Using a yarn needle and a matching yarn color, sew the sides together, leaving one side open for the pillow form.
   • Turn the pillow cover right side out.
   • Insert the 16-inch pillow form into the cover.
