Step-by-Step Instructions

Front Panel

1. With orange yarn, make a chain (ch) of 51.
2. Row 1: Single crochet (sc) in the second chain from the hook and in each chain across. Turn. (You should have 50 stitches)
3. Row 2-10: Chain 1, sc in each stitch across, turn.
4. Change to pink yarn.
5. Row 11-20: Repeat Row 2.
6. Change to yellow yarn.
7. Row 21-30: Repeat Row 2.
8. Change to red yarn.
9. Row 31-40: Repeat Row 2.
10. Fasten off the yarn and weave in any loose ends using a yarn needle.

Back Panel

1. Repeat steps 1-10 for the back panel using the same yarn colors in the same order.

Fringe

1. Cut 10-inch strands of each color yarn (orange, pink, yellow, and red).
2. Attach fringe to every other stitch along the sides of the front panel using a lark's head knot. To do this, fold a strand in half, place it behind the stitch, and pull the ends through the loop created by the fold.
3. Trim the fringe to your desired length for a neat finish.

Assembly

1. Place the front and back panels together with the right sides facing each other.
2. Join orange yarn at one corner of the pillow. Chain 1, then sc around three sides of the pillow, placing 3 sc in each corner to ensure a smooth curve.
3. Insert the pillow form into the opening.
4. Continue to sc along the last side, then join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc to close the pillow.
5. Fasten off the yarn and weave in any remaining ends with a yarn needle.
