Pattern Notes
This pillow is created by crocheting two identical panels then attaching them together using the standard single crochet stitch.
When finished, this pillow measures 14” square. Keep in mind that it is designed to fit around a 14” pillow form, but it will be a snug fit. If you’d like a less-snug fit, simply chain more foundation stitches and work until each piece is a square.
