Using your 4.5 mm (US 7) crochet hook and main color yarn, form a slip knot or magic ring as specified for the Modern Geometric Arrow Throw Pillow foundation.
I have been working on this giant, fuzzy pillow lately and really love how it turned out. It might honestly be the squishiest, most comfortable pillow I’ve ever owned. It would be so sweet on a bed or bench with some smaller accent pillows
The pillow is made using two panels, which are worked up using the tapestry crochet technique, and then joined together.
This pattern is made in two separate panels worked in flat rows and then joined together.

Row 1: Ch 62, sc in each stitch across (61 sts).
Then, move on to Row 2 of the chart and continue working up the chart from bottom to top.
Back Panel (make 1 panel) with 4.5 mm hook:
Place the two panels together, matching up all sides (i.e. make sure the starting yarn tails are both in the same corner).
Starting on the left side at the top, begin attaching the panels together by chaining one and single crocheting around the outside of the panels in Cream.
Sc 4 into each corner (you may want to mark the first and last of these 4 sts on each corner with a st marker; it will be helpful later on when you are crocheting the final border row).
Stuff your pillow!
With your 4.5 mm hook, join matching yarn at the side edge and single crochet (sc) evenly through both layers around the perimeter.
