Assembling the Cushion

1. With the front and back panels completed, place them together with the right sides facing each other.
2. Using tangerine orange yarn, join the panels together by working a round of single crochet (sc) around the edges. Leave a small opening (about 4 inches) to insert the stuffing.

4. Finish by closing the last few stitches with slip stitches (sl st) for a neat finish.
