DIRECTIONS:
STITCH EXPLANATIONsc2tog (sc 2 sts together) (Insert hook in next st and draw up a loop) twice, yarn over and draw through all 3 loops on hook - 1 st decreased.
NOTES:
Pillow is made from 2 Panels. Panels are worked the same, just reversing yarn colors.
Panels are worked in 2 halves. Each half is worked from the center out to one side edge. First half is worked then sts are worked into unworked loops of foundation ch to beg second half.
Both Halves of Panels are worked back and forth in short rows. Short rows are rows that are worked over a portion of the sts in a row, leaving the remaining sts unworked. This gradually adds height to one section of the piece, while the height of the other section does not change.
Panels are sewn together and stuffed to make Pillow.
