Step One
Begin by making the pillow top
Special stitches
Cluster Stitch: hdc3tog- (yo, insert in stitch, pull up yarn) 3 times, yo, pull through all 7 loops
Beginning Cluster Stitch: ch 2, hdc2tog- ch 2, (yo, insert in stitch, pull up yarn) 2 times, yo, pull through all 5 loops
Round 1: With first color begin with magic ring, in mr ch1, 8 sc, slip stitch to first sc to join (8 sc)
Round 2: ch 3 (counts as first hdc, ch 1), [hdc, ch 1] in each stitch around, join to second ch of beginning ch 3, finish off, cut yarn (8 hdc, 8 ch spaces)
Round 3: with new color work beginning cluster in one ch space, ch 2, [cluster, ch 2] in each space around, join to beginning cluster, finish off, cut yarn (8 clusters, 8 ch spaces)
Round 4: with new color work beginning cluster in one ch space, [ch 2,cluster, ch 2] in same space, [cluster, ch 2, cluster, ch 2] in each space around, join to beginning cluster, finish off, cut yarn (16 clusters, 16 ch spaces)
Round 5: with new color work beginning cluster in one ch space, ch 2, [(cluster, ch 2, cluster, ch 2) in next space, (cluster, ch 2) in next] repeat around, join to beginning cluster, finish off, cut yarn (24 clusters, 24 ch spaces)
Round 6: with new color work beginning cluster in first ch space, ch 1, [(cluster, ch 1, cluster, ch 1) in next space, (cluster, ch 1) in next 2 spaces] repeat around, join to beginning cluster, finish off, cut yarn (32 clusters, 32 ch spaces)
Round 7: with new color work beginning cluster in first ch space, ch 1, [(cluster, ch 1, cluster, ch 1) in next space, (cluster, ch 1) in next 3 spaces] repeat around, join to beginning cluster, finish off, cut yarn (40 clusters, 40 ch spaces)
Round 8: with new color work beginning cluster in first ch space, ch 1, [(cluster, ch 1, cluster, ch 1) in next space, (cluster, ch 1) in next 4 spaces] repeat around, join to beginning cluster, finish off, cut yarn (48 clusters, 48 ch spaces)
Round 9: with new color work beginning cluster in first ch space, ch 1, [(cluster, ch 1, cluster, ch 1) in next space, (cluster, ch 1) in next 5 spaces] repeat around, join to beginning cluster, finish off, cut yarn (56 clusters, 56 ch spaces)
Round 10: with new color work beginning cluster in first ch space, ch 1, [(cluster, ch 1, cluster, ch 1) in next space, (cluster, ch 1) in next 13 spaces] repeat around, join to beginning cluster, finish off, cut yarn (60 clusters, 60 ch spaces)
Round 11: with new color work beginning cluster in first ch space, ch 1, [cluster, ch 1] in each space around, join to beginning cluster, finish off, cut yarn (60 clusters, 60 ch spaces)
Round 12: with new color work beginning cluster in first ch space, ch 1, [cluster, ch 1] in each space around, join to beginning cluster, finish off, cut yarn (60 clusters, 60 ch spaces)
