Note for a 16-inch pillow: Continue the same increase row (add one box at the end of every row) until you have 16 boxes across. For any other size, keep increasing until the diagonal measurement of the square equals the size of your pillow form.
Straight Section (Optional)
Note: If you want a larger square, work even rows (no increases and no decreases) until the side edges reach your desired width, then begin the decrease section. For the 14-inch sample, skip this section entirely and go straight to Row 15.
Decrease Section (Second Half of the Square)
