HOW TO MAKE THE CUSHION?

Head

We start by making a magic circle.

The magic circle is the first round, we will always crochet in a spiral, so it is necessary to use the marker at the beginning of each round to avoid getting lost.

Continue working as follows:

Increases: 2nd rnd. * 2 sc in each stitch *, repeat until the end of the rnd. 3rd rnd. * 1 sc and 1 inc (make 2 sc in the next stitch) *, repeat until the end of the row. 4th rnd. * 2 sc and 1 inc *, repeat until the end of the rnd. 5th rnd. * 3 sc and 1 inc *, repeat until the end of the row. 6th rnd. * 4 sc and 1 inc *, repeat until the end of the rnd. 7th rnd. * 5 sc and 1 inc *, repeat until the end. 8th rnd. * 6 sc and 1 inc *, repeat. 9th rnd. * 7 sc and 1 inc * repeat. 10th rnd. * 8 sc and 1 inc *, repeat. 11th rnd. * 9 sc and 1 inc *, repeat. 12th rnd. * 10 sc and 1 inc *, repeat. 13th rnd. * 11 sc and 1 inc *, repeat. 14th rnd. * 11 sc and 1 inc *, repeat. 15th rnd. * 12 sc and 1 inc *, repeat. 16th rnd. * 13 sc and 1 inc *, repeat.

17th rnd. * 14 sc and 1 inc *, repeat.

From 18th rnd. to 24th rnd. Crochet without increasing.

In the 20th rnd. change color and work with COL No. 061.

Decreases:

25th rnd. * 14 sc, 1 dec (skip 1 sc) *, repeat until the end of the row.

26th rnd. * 13 sc, 1 dec *, repeat. 27th rnd. * 12 sc, 1 dec *, repeat. 28th rnd. * 11 sc, 1 dec *, repeat. 29th rnd. * 10 sc, 1 dec *, repeat. 30th rnd. * 9 sc, 1 dec *, repeat. 31st rnd. * 8 sc, 1 dec *, repeat. 32nd rnd. * 7 sc, 1 dec *, repeat. 33rd rnd. * 6 sc, 1 dec *, repeat. 34th rnd. * 5 sc, 1 dec *, repeat. 35th rnd. * 4 sc, 1 dec *, repeat. 36th rnd. * 3 sc, 1 dec *, repeat. Now is the time to stuff with batting. 37th rnd. * 2 sc, 1 dec *, repeat. 38th rnd. * 1 sc, 1 dec *, repeat. 39th rnd. * the last rnd is worked with sl st. Decrease all stitches. Close and fasten off the yarn tail.
