1. If you are ok working with 2-3 skeins of yarn connected at the same time, you can drop each color at the end of the round and pick up the next round color.  Just carry each unused strand up the inside of the pillow until needed
   
2. If you prefer to work a basic chain, chain to the desired amount + 2, turn and hdc in 2nd ch from hook and each ch across until you reach the correct hdc count for the foundation
   
3. This design uses standing stitches to begin rounds unless otherwise stated.  If you are unfamiliar with how to begin with standing stitches, you can use the following: ch 1, sc in very first st; ch 2, skip very first st to be counted as a hdc; ch 3, skip very first st to be counted as a dc; If you would like to learn how to work these stitches, you can find a great tutorial here:
