Step-by-Step Instructions

Front Panel

1. With emerald green yarn, make a foundation chain of 58 stitches (ch 58).
2. Row 1: Single crochet (sc) in the second chain from the hook and in each chain across. Turn your work. (You should have 57 stitches.)
3. Row 2-10: Chain 1 (ch 1), then sc in each stitch across. Turn your work after each row.
4. Change to sapphire blue yarn. Row 11-20: Repeat Row 2, using sapphire blue for these rows.
5. Change to amethyst purple yarn. Row 21-30: Repeat Row 2, using amethyst purple for these rows.
6. Change to ruby red yarn. Row 31-40: Repeat Row 2, using ruby red for these rows.

Back Panel

1. Repeat steps 1-6 from the Front Panel instructions to create the back panel of the pillow.

Assembly

1. Place the front and back panels together with the wrong sides facing each other.
2. Using emerald green yarn, single crochet around three sides of the pillow. Make sure to place 3 single crochets in each corner for a rounded finish.
3. Insert the 16x16 inch pillow form into the opening.
4. Single crochet the final side closed, ensuring it is secure and neat.

Fringe

1. Cut strands of yarn in all four colors (emerald green, sapphire blue, amethyst purple, ruby red), each measuring 12 inches long.
2. Attach the fringe along the top and bottom edges of the pillow using a lark's head knot. To do this, fold each strand in half, place it behind the edge of the pillow, and pull the ends through the loop created by the fold.
3. Trim the fringe to your desired length for a polished look.

Finishing
