Springtime Crocheted Accent Pillow

I haven’t ~~been feeling~~ felt well for the past few day. I started this pillow last Friday and finished with it Monday morning.

It reminds me of the colors of spring.

It consists of 3 row of sc (after each sc row ch 1, turn) and 1 row of †dc cluster repeat pattern-on an even number of starting chs-until desired length. I used a 12″ x 16″ pillow insert. I used a size G crochet hook. For this pillow, I started with a ch of 60. Your starting ch may be more or less depending on your crochet tension.
