This pattern is worked in a front panel, and a back panel, which are joined after the back panel has been stitched together. You will be working from top to bottom.

It’s super important to reference this chart while stitching to ensure your letters come out correctly. That way, even if you accidentally add or subtract a stitch, your text will still line up. 

Outside of lining up your text, this pillow is super forgiving and customizable. If you accidentally end up with too many stitches, you can hide it when you stitch your two panels together.

This crochet pattern uses US terms and is written for right-handed crocheters.
