Cut and fasten off the yarn at the end of the round.

For Round 4 (Using the corner color yarn):

Attach new yarn to the back loop of the last slip stitch from the previous round.
Create corners by placing three double crochets together, and use a mix of half double crochets and single crochets for the sides.
Slip stitch to join at the end of the round.

Round 5: Start with a chain three or a chainless double crochet.

Adding the Stem

Attach brown yarn and chain five.
Make a double crochet into the second and third chains from the hook.
Cut the yarn and fasten off.
Use a yarn needle or crochet hook to attach the stem to the granny square.

Joining the Squares

Make a total of nine granny squares for a one-sided pillow or 18 for a two-sided pillow.
Arrange the squares in a 3x3 layout.
Join the squares together using single crochets, working on the back side to keep the front neat.

Making the Back Panel

Crochet two separate rectangles for the back of the pillow.
Chain 42 (or the length of your front panel) plus two for turning.
Make half double crochets all the way across.
Continue in rows until the rectangles are a little longer than half the height of the front panel.

Assembling the Pillow

Place the two back rectangles on the front panel so they overlap.
Single crochet all the way around the pillow to join all the pieces together, inserting your hook through all three layers where they overlap.
Turn the pillow cover right side out and insert the pillow form.
