Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your own Mosaic Harmony Pillow:

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • Wrap the yarn around your fingers to form a loop, then pull a loop of yarn through the center of the ring.
   • Hold the ring and the working yarn to secure it.
2. Round 1:
   • Chain 1 (Ch 1).
   • Make 8 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring.
   • Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc to close the round.
3. Round 2:
   • Ch 1.
   • Make 2 sc in each stitch around (total of 16 sts).
   • Join with a sl st to the first sc.
4. Round 3:
   • Ch 1.
   • *Sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch*; repeat around (total of 24 sts).
   • Join with a sl st to the first sc.
5. Continue Increasing:
   • Repeat the pattern of increasing until Round 8, where you will have 64 stitches.
6. Change to Color B:
   • Round 9: Ch 1, *sc in the next 2 sts, 2 sc in the next st*; repeat around (total of 84 sts).
   • Join with a sl st to the first sc.
7. Switch to Color C:
   • Round 10: Ch 1, *sc in the next 3 sts, 2 sc in the next st*; repeat around (total of 104 sts).
   • Join with a sl st to the first sc.
8. Alternate Colors:
   • Continue alternating colors every 2 rounds.
   • Maintain the geometric pattern by increasing the number of single crochets between increases by one each round.
   • Work until the piece measures approximately 16 inches in diameter.
9. Fasten Off:
   • Once the desired diameter is reached, fasten off and weave in the ends.
10. Create a Second Piece:
    • Repeat the above steps to create an identical piece for the back of the pillow.
11. Join Both Pieces:
    • Place both pieces together with the right sides facing each other.
    • Join with a round of single crochet (sc), leaving a small opening for stuffing.
12. Stuff the Pillow:
    • Fill the pillow with fiberfill until it reaches your desired fullness.
13. Close the Opening:
    • Continue crocheting with sc to close the opening.
    • Fasten off and weave in any remaining ends.
