Notes

Customize for any size
- To customize for a pillow of any size, make a foundation chan (any number) that is approximately 1.5 in. – 2 in. larger than the width of your pillow form.
- Follow repeat row until your finished piece length is equal to its width (for a square pillow) or 1.5 in. – 2 in. longer than the length of your pillow form (for a rectangle pillow).
- Making a larger pillow will require more skeins of yarn.
Working with the yarn
- Due to the nature of faux fur yarn, it can be difficult to see your stitches as you crochet. Be patient, and use your hands to help find the stitches as you work. You’ll want to “feel” your way as you go so that you don’t miss a stitch!
- This yarn is super forgiving so it doesn’t need to be perfect!
