Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Create the Granny Squares
Begin with a magic ring.
Round 1: Using forest green, chain 3 (counts as double crochet), then 2 double crochets into the ring. Chain 2, then *3 double crochets into the ring, chain 2*; repeat from * to * 3 more times. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the initial chain 3. You should have 12 double crochets and 4 chain-2 spaces.
Round 2: Slip stitch to the next chain-2 space. Chain 3, then 2 double crochets in the same space, chain 2, and 3 double crochets in the same space (corner made). Now, *3 double crochets in the next chain-2 space, chain 2, 3 double crochets in the same space*; repeat from * to * around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the initial chain 3. You should have 24 double crochets and 4 chain-2 spaces.
Round 3: Change to moss color. Slip stitch to the next chain-2 space. Chain 3, then 2 double crochets in the same space, chain 2, and 3 double crochets in the same space (corner made). Now, *3 double crochets in the next space between 3-double crochet groups, 3 double crochets in the next chain-2 space, chain 2, 3 double crochets in the same space*; repeat from * to * around. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the initial chain 3. You should have 36 double crochets and 4 chain-2 spaces.
Round 4: Change to bark brown. Repeat Round 3. You should have 48 double crochets and 4 chain-2 spaces.
Round 5: Change to cream. Repeat Round 3. You should have 60 double crochets and 4 chain-2 spaces.
Make a total of 8 squares.
2. Join the Squares
Using the moss color, join the squares together with slip stitches to create a 2x4 rectangle.
3. Add the Border
With cream yarn, single crochet around the entire rectangle, placing 3 single crochets in each corner to create a neat finish.
4. Create the Back Panel
Repeat steps 1-5 to create another 2x4 rectangle for the back panel.
5. Assembly
Place the front and back panels together with the wrong sides facing each other. Single crochet around the edges with bark brown yarn, leaving one side open for the pillow form. Insert the pillow form and then close the opening with single crochet stitches.
6. Finishing Touches
Weave in all ends using a yarn needle to ensure a clean finish.
