Crocheted Extra Large Floor Pillow Pattern

I have been wanting to make one of these for the longest time!  I have seen knit versions floating around the web but not a crocheted version.  So I took all of my left over super bulky yarn from the different infinity cowls I have made, and came up with a pattern.

  You could sew a liner and stuff it with fiber fill, but I took the easy/lazy way and used a queen sized quilt to stuff mine.  You are going to be able to see through the stitches to see what is inside so I used a white quilt.  You could use something that matches the color of yarn you use.

I changed color as I ran out of yarn, however if you have enough yarn you could make it all one color.

Materials:
I used a little more that 6 skeins of super bulky #6 yarn.
Size N hook
Large Eye Needle
Queen sized quilt or the equivalent to stuff it with

Abbreviations:
DC -  double crochet
dc2tog - double crochet two together (this is your decreasing stitch you can find a good tutorial for this stitch here)
