Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring and chain 1. This will be the foundation of your pillow.
2. Round 1: Work 6 popcorn stitches (pc) into the magic ring. To make a popcorn stitch, yarn over, insert your hook into the ring, yarn over again, pull through, yarn over, pull through two loops on your hook twice, then pull through all the loops on your hook. You should have 6 popcorn stitches in total.
3. Round 2: In this round, work 2 popcorn stitches in each stitch around. You will end up with 12 popcorn stitches.
4. Round 3: *1 pc in the next stitch, 2 pcs in the next stitch*; repeat this pattern around. You should have 18 popcorn stitches at the end of this round.
5. Round 4: *1 pc in the next 2 stitches, 2 pcs in the next stitch*; repeat around. This will give you 24 popcorn stitches.
6. Continue Working Even: Keep working in popcorn stitch until your piece measures approximately 10 inches in diameter. This will form the main body of your pillow.
7. Begin Decreasing:
   • Round 1: *1 pc in the next 2 stitches, skip the next stitch*; repeat around until you have 18 popcorn stitches.
   • Round 2: *1 pc in the next stitch, skip the next stitch*; repeat around until you have 12 popcorn stitches.
8. Stuff the Pillow: At this point, take your pillow stuffing and fill the pillow to your desired firmness. Once stuffed, continue decreasing until the opening is closed.
9. Make the Base: Chain 20 and work in rows of single crochet (sc) until it measures 10 inches long. This will create a sturdy base for your pillow.
10. Finish the Base: Fold the base and seam the edges together to create a flat base for your pillow. Ensure the seams are secure for durability.
