Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn, approximately 200 yards

• Gauge: 4 stitches and 4 rows = 4 inches in single crochet
• Fiberfill: For stuffing the pillow
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring to begin your project. This will form the center of your pillow.
2. Round 1: Work 8 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Join the round by slip stitching (sl st) into the first single crochet. You should have 8 stitches.
3. Round 2: Chain 1 (ch 1), then work 2 single crochets in each stitch around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 16 stitches.
4. Round 3: Chain 1, then *single crochet in the next stitch, 2 single crochets in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 24 stitches.
5. Round 4: Chain 1, then *single crochet in the next 2 stitches, 2 single crochets in the next stitch*; repeat from * to * around. Join with a slip stitch. You should have 32 stitches.
6. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this manner until the diameter of the circle reaches approximately 18 inches, or your desired size for the pillow.
7. Work Even Rounds: Once you reach the desired diameter, continue to work even rounds by doing 1 single crochet in each stitch until the pillow cover reaches your desired thickness.
8. Fasten Off: When you have reached the desired thickness, fasten off your yarn and weave in the ends using a tapestry needle.
9. Create a Second Piece: Repeat the above steps to create a second identical piece for the back of the pillow.
10. Join the Pieces: Place both pieces together, with the wrong sides facing each other. Join them by working single crochet through both layers around the edges, leaving a small opening for stuffing.
11. Stuff the Pillow: Fill the pillow with fiberfill to your desired firmness. Make sure to distribute the filling evenly for a plush feel.
12. Close the Opening: Once stuffed, continue working single crochet to close the opening. Fasten off and weave in any remaining ends with the tapestry needle.
