Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the Pillow Panels

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring to begin your pillow. This will form the center of your pillow.
2. Round 1: Chain 1 (Ch 1), then work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first single crochet. You should have 6 stitches.
3. Round 2: Ch 1, then work 2 sc in each stitch around. Join with sl st to the first sc. You should have 12 stitches.
4. Round 3: Ch 1, (sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch) around. Join with sl st to the first sc. You should have 18 stitches.
5. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this manner: for each subsequent round, alternate between working 1 sc in the next stitch and 2 sc in the next stitch until you reach a total of 72 stitches.
6. Work Even: Once you have 72 stitches, work even in single crochet for 10 rounds. This will create the body of your pillow.

Adding Color

7. Change to Teal Yarn: Switch to your teal yarn and work 5 rounds in single crochet.
8. Change to Blue Yarn: Switch to your blue yarn and work 5 rounds in single crochet.
9. Change to White Yarn: Finally, switch to your white yarn and work 5 rounds in single crochet.

Finishing the Pillow

10. Fasten Off: After completing the last round in white, fasten off your yarn and weave in all ends using a tapestry needle.
11. Make Two Panels: Repeat the above steps to create a second identical panel for the pillow.
12. Join the Panels: Place the two panels together, right sides facing out. Use single crochet to join around the edges, leaving one side open for the pillow form.
13. Insert Pillow Form: Carefully insert your 16-inch pillow form into the opening.
14. Close the Pillow: Continue to single crochet to close the opening securely. Fasten off and weave in any remaining ends.
