NOTES

• Each pillow front consists of two panels with the second panel being worked in the row-ends of the first panel. Pillow backs are worked separately in rows and joined to the fronts with single crochet.

• Single crochet in both loops of first and last stitches; single crochet in back loop only of each remaining stitch across.

• To change colors, work to last yarnover of stitch in old color, pick up new color, and complete stitch with new color. Fasten off nonworking color only after a color block is complete.

• Weave in ends as work progresses.
