Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a magic ring: Create a loop with your yarn, leaving a long tail. Hold the ring with your fingers and insert your hook through the center of the ring.
2. Round 1: Chain 3 (this counts as your first double crochet), then work 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. To close the round, join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the top of your initial chain-3. You should have a total of 12 double crochets.
3. Round 2: Chain 3, then double crochet in the same stitch. Now, work 2 double crochets in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch at the top of the chain-3. You will have 24 double crochets at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: Chain 3, then *double crochet in the next stitch, 2 double crochets in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 36 double crochets.
5. Round 4: Chain 3, then *double crochet in the next 2 stitches, 2 double crochets in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch. You will have 48 double crochets.
6. Round 5: Chain 3, then *double crochet in the next 3 stitches, 2 double crochets in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 60 double crochets.
7. Round 6: Chain 3, then *double crochet in the next 4 stitches, 2 double crochets in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch. You will have 72 double crochets.
8. Round 7: Chain 3, then *double crochet in the next 5 stitches, 2 double crochets in the next stitch; repeat from * around. Join with a slip stitch. You will have 84 double crochets.
9. Finish the square: Fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.
10. Make two squares: Repeat the above steps to create a second square.
11. Join the squares: Place the two squares together, right sides facing each other. Using single crochet (sc), join the squares along the edges, leaving one side open for the pillow form.
12. Insert the pillow form: Carefully insert your pillow form into the opening of your joined squares.
13. Close the pillow: Using single crochet, close the open side by working through both squares until completely joined. Fasten off and weave in any remaining ends.
