Assembling the pillow
Lay the pillow back piece right side up. Lay the front buttonhole panel wrong side up, aligning it on one side. Lay the other front panel on top wrong side up, aligning it along the opposite side. I placed a few pins to hold the pieces together, especially where the 3 pieces met up. Slip stitch or sew around all four sides. Turn right side out. Determine button placement and sew on buttons.
Insert your pillow form and button it closed. Enjoy your new crochet pillow!
