Notes

I love this Crocodile Flower square pattern.

I used Vanna’s Choice and Wool-Ease with a 3.5mm (E) hook.

It needed to be blocked twice: once after making the foundation so I could align the petals without bunching the background, and again after adding the border to make it the size I wanted.

I designed my own solid square for the back of the pillow. I get horribly bored if I just crochet the same stitch back and forth. The pattern for the back can be found here.

More detailed step-by-step instructions are on my blog!
