the amount of flower squares you need depend on the size of pillow
once you have the amount of flower squares you need lay them out and attach them with sc
Back panels:
make the back piece of pillow case by measuring your pillow and dividing that number by 2 ( you will need 2 panels in order to have an opening to insert your pillow)
chain the vertical measurement of your pillow ( measured from top to bottom)
dc in second loop from your hook, dc in every loop down your chain
ch 1 and turn your work
dc in the back loop only all the way down, repeat for however many rows the half way length of your pillow is
* cut yarn and fasten off*
add the button to this panel ( watch video to see how to sew button on)
for 2nd panel
repeat the same # of chains and rows as your first panel
line up both panels and put stitch markers on where you need to put the opening for your button
dc in the back loop only until the stitch marker, count the stitches from one stitch marker to the other and that's how much you chain, (example: 5 stitches = chain 5) dc in back loop only in the stitch right after your marker, dc in back loop only all the way down
ch 1, dc in back loop only until you get to your stitch marker and do just regular dc in back loop only and continue the dc in back loop only after the chain sp all the way to the end
1 more row of dc in back loop only
cut yarn & fasten off
Putting everything together:
lay the front piece with the flowers down and lay the back panels on top of that. the panel with the opening over the panel with the button and sc attach all the way around the pillow
