Pattern Notes
The pillows are worked flat in pieces from the bottom up. Each Basket has an intarsia tree on the front. Work the tree pattern from the chart or written instructions.

When working the tree pattern, to join a new color, work to the last sc before the color change and with the new color work the last pull through of the single crochet, dropping the old color.

To avoid lots of ends to weave in, when working the tree pattern, carry the old color behind the work and drop after the last stitch of the tree pattern.

To avoid puckering, make sure to not pull stitches to tight.
