3 dc close tog: 3 double crochet close together: in the same ch work 3 dc without finishing them, you have 4 loops on hook, take the yarn and pass it through the loops and close them all together.
Procedure
The pillows is made up of 2 square panels, a front and a back.
Front panel:
R1) magic loop
R2) 8 dc in magic loop
R3) 16 dc (2 dc in the same st = 1 inc)
R4) work 1 motif, 4 dc inc. for 4 times, close the round with1 sl st (work in this way until R10, increasing the dc at the sides )
R5) work 4 rounds in dc always increasing at the sides and working the motive at corners. Cut the yarn. First panel worked.
Back panel:
Pick up the stitches normally, first on the top panel working 10 rounds without the motif which will be replaced by 3 dc. Cut the yarn, do the same process on the lower panel, cut the yarn.
Sew the right and left side with sl st, thus leaving the central opening where the pillow stuffing will be inserted.
