Am I missing something? It says it needs a 16×16 pillow form but I have finished the squares and am half way through the back, and it seems to waaaay bigger than the pillow form. Does something happen when you make it a pillow? This is my first pillow to make
I love the pattern and I am an experienced crocheter but for the life of me I can not figure out how to go back and forth with the change of colors. Is there a tutorial I can watch? I love the pillow and would love to make several as gifts.
Thank you very much the pillow looks like it’s very interesting and I something I’d like to make
Love the pattern. Tu

This is so so cool and rather easy . At my age – my hands are a bit slow bit indeed it is a easy pattern.
Thank you for everything and be blessed — Violet
