Make 24 of these hexagons. Crochet the hexagons together. Put them right sides together and sl st along the edges. Always start in a corner and only work in the outer loop, to get a pretty line on the right side of your work. Fold a hexagon over to make a corner. Crochet one of the sides together.
TIP: Crochet as many of the hexagons together as you can before inserting the inner cushion. Close the last hole with needle and thread.
