Helpful Notes

There are many different ways to start a granny square (ex: magic circle), you may choose to begin Round 1 with a method you are more comfortable with.
For a solid colored pillow, do not change colors each round. For a looser look, you may choose to ch 2 instead of ch 1 between clusters.
This pillow is made by creating 2 panels each with 4 granny squares seams together with the mattress stitch bordered with a round of the granny stitch. The 2 panels are joined together using the granny stitch as well.
If you tend to have loose tension when you crochet, you may need to go down a hook size to make this 12″ square pillow, or simply buy a bigger pillow insert to make your finished size.
