Every row ends with turning ch 2. It counts as a first DC of the next row.
This pattern is all in DC so as you can see on my spreadsheet there are only numbers under the column of the yarn colour. I find this helpful as you can make your own notes where you just left and you can easily continue when you get back to it.
I don’t carry any yarn colour unless it’s for a few stitches when I need to switch the colours.
Don't forget to make your last DC of the each row into the last stitch (top second ch)

How to seam the pillow cases
Grab the pillow filling (16” x 16”) and your crocheted pillow case and arrange it as you’d like. I tried to make the both flowers visible. YouTube video tutorial 1:00:07
Then turn the pillow so you can see its back. Overlap 4 rows, align it and secure it with your stitch markers. Now it’s time to sew the sides together.
How to attach fringe
For these pillows I decided to make the fringe for each corner. YouTube video tutorial 1:10:26
Grab any colour you’d like. I picked Blue Moon. Then find any object like a book, tablet, anything that you like the length of it and wrap the yarn around it. I end up with 40x 14” strings for one corner.
Then pull through the corner whole bunch of strings, fold them on half and with a string fasten it 1-2” under the folded part. For better look cut the ends to make the ends nicely straight.
