Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight cotton yarn in shades of seafoam green, sandy beige, and ocean blue.
• Crochet Hook: 5.0 mm crochet hook.
• Gauge: 10 C2C squares = 4 inches.
• Pillow Form: 16-inch pillow form.
• Scissors: For cutting yarn.
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring with your seafoam green yarn. This will be the foundation of your first C2C square.
2. Begin Your C2C Square:
   • Chain 6 (this counts as your first square).
   • In the 4th chain from the hook, double crochet (dc). In the next 2 chains, make a dc in each. You now have your first square.
3. Increase Your Squares:
   • For each subsequent row, you will increase by adding 1 square at the beginning of each row.
   • To do this, chain 6, and repeat the process of making 3 dc in the last chain of the previous row.
   • Continue this until you have 20 squares wide.
4. Change to Sandy Beige Yarn:
   • Once you reach 20 squares wide, switch to sandy beige yarn.
   • Continue the C2C pattern, maintaining the width for 10 rows, ensuring to keep the same increasing method.
5. Switch to Ocean Blue Yarn:
   • Change to ocean blue yarn and begin decreasing.
   • To decrease, remove 1 square at the beginning of each row. Chain 6 and dc into the next 2 squares as before.
   • Continue decreasing until you reach the final square.
6. Finish Your First Panel:
   • Fasten off your yarn and weave in any ends with a tapestry needle.
7. Create a Second Identical Panel:
   • Repeat steps 1 through 6 to create a second panel identical to the first.
8. Join the Panels:
   • Place the two panels together with the right sides facing out.
   • Using the seafoam green yarn, join the panels with a single crochet seam, leaving one side open for the pillow form.
9. Insert the Pillow Form:
   • Carefully insert the 16-inch pillow form into the opening.
10. Close the Final Seam:
    • Continue to crochet the last side closed using a single crochet stitch.
    • Fasten off and weave in any remaining ends.
