NOTES:
Pillow is worked in 2 pieces, Front and Back, each worked back and forth in rows.
On Front, yarn color is changed following Chart. Each square on Chart represents a single crochet (sc) st worked with the indicated color. Read RS rows of Chart from right to left and WS rows from left to right.
To change yarn color, work last st of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete st. Proceed with new color. Do not cut old color. Carry color not in use along top of sts of previous row and work current sts over the carried strand.
Back is worked using a single yarn color.
