Pattern Notes

Before you begin, consider these notes to make your crocheting experience smoother:

• Always check your gauge before starting. Adjustments in hook size may be necessary depending on your tension.

• Throughout the pattern, pay careful attention to stitch counts at the end of each round to ensure your design remains balanced and symmetrical.

Make Chain Links (worked when RS facing)

• With right side facing, twist the first horizontal ch-4 bar of the 7th round to form a loop.
• Draw the 2nd horizontal ch-6 bar of the 8th round through the first loop without twisting.
• Repeat, drawing the next horizontal ch-6 bar through the previous loop without twisting until all loops have been worked.

Note: Twisting only the first horizontal ch-4 bar will prevent gaps in work.

Next Round (after chain links)

• Ch 2. *Dcfp around post of next dcfp. Sl st in remaining loop of chain link to secure. Dcfp around post of next dc. 1 dc in each of next 7 dc. Repeat from * around. Join with sl st to first dcfp.
  Fasten off.

Join Pieces / Assembly

• With the wrong sides of the top and bottom facing each other and final rounds aligned (taking care to match the pattern), join yarn with sl st through both thicknesses to any dc.
• Ch 1.
• Working through both thicknesses, join the top and bottom edges together with sl st in each st around, inserting pillow forms as you work.
• Join with sl st to first sl st.
• Fasten off.

Finishing

• Fasten off after the final top/bottom round (after “Next round”).
• Fasten off after joining top and bottom edges (assembly step).
