Row 1: Dc in second loop from hook, 1 dc in every stitch. (32 dc)

Row 4: 1 dc in every st (32 dc).
Row 5: 1 dc in every st, but when you make the last dc, yarn over with colour B and pull through loop.
Row 6 – 9: Colour B. Repeat row 2 – 5, but on the last row, pull colour A through loop on the last dc.
Repeat row 2 – 9 until you have 5 parts with colour A and 4 parts with colour B.
When you have made row 5 with colour A the last time (this time you do not change colour on the last st) it is time to join all your ch12-sp. Pull every loop through the loop below.
Joining-row: 1 dc in each of the first two st, *put hook through ch-sp and make a dc in next st, 1 dc in each of the following 3 dc, repeat* to the end of the row, but finish with one dc in the last st after dc through ch-sp. (32 dc)

Remember to put the pillow in the cushion when three sides are joined. (16 picots on each side and 2 dc between every picot).
