PATTERN NOTES
All turning chains do not count as a stitch in the end of row count.
For the ginger shell stitch, after working the 2nd 3-doublze crochet group in front of the previous group of 3, give the first group a little tug to pull it all the way through the center of the 2nd group.
The finished crochet piece will be slightly smaller than the 12-inch pillow form, creating a full, plump pillow.
Join with slip stitch as indicated unless otherwise stated.
