        We\u2019ll be working two flat squares, then seaming them together and stuffing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Step 1: Make a Foundation Chain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Chain 41 (this should make about 16″ in worsted weight yarn using a 5.5 mm hook).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Step 2: Row Stitching<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Row 1: In the second ch from the hook, sc across (40 sts). Ch 1, turn.
        Row 2\u201340: Sc in each stitch across. Ch 1, turn.
        <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
        OR<\/strong> for a different texture:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
        Try using half double crochet (hdc)<\/strong> or alternating sc and dc rows<\/strong> for a striped look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
        Repeat the process for the back panel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \ud83e\uddf5 Assembly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        Step 3: Join Panels<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
        Place the two panels with right sides facing out<\/strong> (or in, if you\u2019ll turn it after seaming). Use sc or sl st to join 3 sides together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
        Step 4: Insert Stuffing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
        Fill with fiberfill or insert a pillow form. Don\u2019t overstuff\u2014pillow should be plump but flexible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
        Step 5: Close the Pillow<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
        Join the final edge with sc or sl st, and weave in all ends with your tapestry needle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
