Granny square throw pillow

I sold this pillow last month, and was too lazy to take pictures as I went along, so I can't offer you advice on how to make it.
You can do as I do, and adjust or tweak the basic pattern to your tastes.

The granny motif is one of the oldest designs in crochet, and was one of the first things I was taught when I first started learning crochet waaaayyyyyy back in 2005 (has it really been THAT long?).

OK, so this throw pillow is made up of 2 granny squares, a zip and a pillow (DUH!).

NOTES

• No gauge was used in the making of this project, as I am not a big fan of gauge when making  soft furnishings
• You'll need a zipper that's slightly longer than the pillow you're covering, so this is the part where you whip out your tape measure and GO CRAZY!
• Feel free to seam on the inside of the pillow, for a smooth finish. I seamed mine on the outside because I always try to incorporate a little texture in my projects; it's kind of my trademark!

MATERIALS
Approximately 300grams of acrylic yarn in green
Approximately 300grams of acrylic yarn in tan/beige
One zipper in colour to match your chosen border yarn.
Sewing needle
Matching thread ( you'll be hand stitching the cushion closed)
