Finish off. Make a second square using opposite colors, but do not finish off. Weave in ends.

Finishing - Place squares together with WS touching, so RS is facing out. You can pin together, or use locking stitch markers. Be sure to match row to row and stitch to stitch.

Continue in the same color (B) in the corner where you left off. I turned so that my dark stitches will contrast the light yarn on the RS.

Ch 1, insert hook through both layers and place a sc in this corner, ch 1, and place a second sc in this corner.

Continue to sc evenly around pillow squares on 3 sides, making sure to join the squares by going through both layers. Place in each corner (sc, ch 1, sc). When crocheting along the row edges, place 1 sc per row.

Stop when you have joined 3 sides. Stuff pillow. Pin this last edge together in a few places to help line up the stitches. Then continue to sc across, join to the first sc with a sl st.

Cut yarn. Weave in end.
