MEASUREMENTS

FINISHED MEASUREMENTS: You have two options for this project:

• Pillow is 19” (48.5 cm) wide by 18” (45.5 cm) tall
• Afghan is 60“ (152 cm)  wide by 57“  (145 cm) high

GAUGE: 15 sc x 15 rows = 4.75” [12 cm] x 4.5” [11.4 cm] Use any size hook to obtain the gauge.

MATERIALS

Yarn: Sample was made with WeCrochet/Knit Picks Brava (100% Premium Acrylic, 100g, 218 yds

Color A: 400 grams

Color B: 400 grams

Color C: 400 grams

Color D: 400 grams

Color E: 600 grams

It is possible to choose any worsted weight yarn that gets gauge. Keep scrolling for a list of suggested yarns.

**I’ve added a pillow size option below 🙂 **

Color Suggestions: I would choose colors that are not too close together in shade but have all of the colors work together. You could go subtle or loud. Totally your choice.

Hooks:  Size I/9 (5.5 mm) or size needed to obtain correct gauge.

Notions: Chenille or Tapestry needle, Stitch markers, 18 x18 Pillow form or size to fit your pillow

NOTES

1. Change color when there are 2 loops left on the hook of previous color. 
2. Carry yarn on the wrong side of the work.  Meaning when you switch your colors mid row, make sure to move your working yarn to the wrong side.  If you are crocheting the right side, move yarn to the back.  If you are crocheting the wrong side, move yarn to the front. 
3. If you are struggling with the join as you go method, simply make each square individually and seam them together.
