Pillow

With Pink and H hook

ch 24

Row 1 - sk 3 chs, (counts as first dc), *  sc in next ch, dc in next ch* repeat across ending with sc in last ch, ch 3 turn

Row 2 - skip 1st st, *sc in next dc in prev row, dc in next sc on prev row* repeat across ending with a sc in top of beg ch 3

Keep repeating row 2 until your piece measures 15 inches in length, do not fasten off pink 

Fold piece in half and sew the angel on the front of the pillow, when sewing the angel on you will sew between each dc that is on row 4 so the angel head will be a pocket.

Sewing the pillow shut

hold the folded piece together and sc in each st across, then work down the side and sc as evenly as possible, repeat the same for the back seam and the other side before closing the last side stuff your pillow firmly with fiber fill. Do not cut pink yarn

Ruffle 

after the piece is completely stuffed and shut you will work the ruffle, continuing on from where you left off with the seaming of the pillow, work *2 sc in next st, 3 dc in next st* continue this around the entire pillow, at the end join with a sl st to first sc and fasten off.

Because of the stitch that is used in the pillow you will not be able to see the fiberfill, the stitch is very tight.
