PATTERN INFORMATION
Tapestry crochet is used to create the front of the pillow in which color changes occur within the rows, and the other colors are carried against the work. This ensures that there are not a lot of ends to weave in. Then, rows of dc stitches are added to the right and left sides of the work to create the back side.

The pillow is joined inside out, so the joining seam is hidden inside of the pillow. Five buttons hold the two sections of the back of the pillow together.
