Do not tie off.
Sew in the first tail from round 1.
Remove your hook from the last stitch in round 28, lay the bottom piece of your pillow wrong side up and place the top piece on top, right side up. You bottom piece may be curling up on the edges but it wont matter once you attach your pieces and stuff your pillow. Insert your hook into one of the stitches on your top piece, grab your loop from the back piece, and pull through.
CH 1 to secure.
Starting in the same space where you just joined, begin to SC around, making sure to line up the stitches and go through both the front and back panels of the pillow. Once the pillow is about 3/4 of the way joined, stuff your pillow with poly fill. Continue to SC around the rest of the way until you have lined up and joined all 150 stitches. Join back into your first SC and tie off. Sew in the tail.
Shape your pillow by massaging it and adjusting the polyfill. If you wanted your pillow to be more “shapely” you could use a round pillow insert instead of polyfill.
Pom Pom Trim
Insert your hook into one of your stitches, grab your cream yarn and pull through.
CH 7, BOBBLE into the back bump of the third CH from your hook , CH 3, BOBBLE into the third CH from hook (the top of your first bobble), CH 1 to secure, slip stitch back into the bottom of the first bobble, CH 4, skip 4 stitches and slip stitch into the 5th stitch. Repeat around.
You may need to adjust/shape your “pom poms”.
