Materials Needed

• Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver in Off White
• Hook: 5.5mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 12 single crochet (sc) x 15 rows = 4 inches
• Fiberfill: for stuffing the pillow
• Scissors: for cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle: for sewing pieces together

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Create the Pillow Base

1. Start with a magic ring. This will be the center of your pillow.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochet (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the ring tight to close.
3. Round 2: Increase in each stitch around (12 stitches total).
4. Round 3: *Single crochet in the next stitch, increase in the next stitch* around (18 stitches total).
5. Round 4: *Single crochet in the next 2 stitches, increase in the next stitch* around (24 stitches total).
6. Continue this increasing pattern until you reach a total of 60 stitches. This will form the round shape of your pillow.

Step 2: Create the Ruffles

1. Once you have reached 60 stitches, attach your yarn to any stitch on the edge of the pillow.
2. For the ruffles, *chain 3, skip 1 stitch, slip stitch in the next stitch* around. This will create a lovely ruffled edge.
3. After completing the round, fasten off and cut the yarn.

Step 3: Create the Rose Motif

1. With a new piece of yarn, chain 50.
2. Row 1: Single crochet in the 2nd chain from the hook and in each chain across (49 sc).
3. Row 2: *Chain 3, skip 1 stitch, slip stitch in the next stitch* across the row.
4. Once you reach the end, roll the strip into a rose shape, starting from one end and spiraling it inwards.
5. Using your tapestry needle, sew the base of the rose securely to hold its shape.

Step 4: Assemble the Pillow

1. Attach the rose to the center of the pillow base you created earlier.
2. Create a second identical piece for the back of the pillow using the same steps as above.

Step 5: Join the Pillow Pieces

1. With the wrong sides of the two pillow pieces together, single crochet around the edges to join them. Leave a small opening (about 4 inches) for stuffing.
2. Stuff the pillow with fiberfill until it reaches your desired fluffiness.
3. Once stuffed, continue single crocheting to close the opening securely.
