Pattern: Insert hook in 4th chain from hook. Make 3 double crochet *in next stitch, wrap, pull yarn through, wrap, take off 2 loops, wrap, put hook back into 2nd of the first 3 double crochets made (bottom, as if you were re-working that stitch), pull yarn through until it is the same length as the other stitches, wrap, put hook back into same place, pull yarn through (6 loops are now on the hook), wrap, take off all loops. Make 3 dc. Repeat from *

Make chain long 20" for a 20x20" pillow that is divisible by 4, plus 2.
Row 1: Pattern (right side)
Row 2: sc in back loop
Row 3: Pattern
Row 4: sc in back loop
