Notes
- This pattern is written in Canadian/ American English
- Chain and turn (chain does not count as a stitch)
- Instructions in *stars* are repeated the number of times after the second *
- I used Bernat Premium– medium 4 worsted weight
- The pattern is written in rows. Each row has the number of stitches indicated in () at the end of each row. Turning chains are not counted as a stitch. Solid white squares are single crochet. Grey squares with B are bobble stitch using main colour
- Finished pillow panel size is just under 18 x 18 inches (it will stretch nicely and evenly over a 18 x 18inch pillow form)***If you use a coarse worsted 4 weight (Red Heart, Love My Yarn) you may be larger than 18 x 18, therefore increase pillow form to 20” x 20”***
- Not all pillow forms are alike for density. I used a 18 x 18 inch pillow form. Before inserting pillow form into finished work, fluff the form evenly and into all four corners. This creates an even work to your finished product. If you cannot find a pillow form, use polyfil stuffing and fill the pillow cover evenly before closing.
