Pattern Steps
The Front of the Pillow:
To make the front of the pillow, use the square crochet pattern to make 9 squares in total. You can find the Simple Square Pattern here.
Once the squares are made, block them if desired. Join the squares using an invisible mattress seam.
Attach optional buttons at every corner of the center square. The finished size should be approximately 15×15″.
The Back of the Pillow:
Row 1: With white yarn, chain 35. Half double crochet in the second chain from the hook and in every chain across. (34 stitches)
Row 2-25: Chain 1, half double crochet in every stitch across. (34 stitches)
Weave in loose ends with a yarn needle.
Finishing Steps:
Using white yarn, single crochet along the edges of the front and back of the pillow while holding them together evenly in the correct direction.
In every corner, single crochet, chain 1, single crochet. Make 35 single crochets across every edge (37 including corners).
Leave one side open to insert the pillow form. Continue single crocheting across the last side to close the pillow.
Fasten off yarn and weave in loose ends.
