Crocheted 18" patchwork throw pillow cover - whimsical nature cottagecore beaded

This is a crocheted one-of-a-kind pillow cover that fits an 18 square insert. It is made of 9 squares, a solid brown crocheted back, and a leafy vine edging. Each square displays a different woodland/garden themed element such as flowers, bees, ladybugs, snail, dragonfly, butterfly, mushrooms, leaves, etc. I also added beaded accents here and there to add some interest. The closure is at the bottom of the pillow. It is made of 5 crocheted loops that loop over 5 large buttons. Then, you take the leafy vine edging and hook it over the buttons as well to disguise the closure.  Please examine all of my photos thoroughly to see all of the details, measurements, and closure.  *** Please keep in mind that this is a cover only. It does not include the pillow insert! I only put an insert in it for a couple of my photos so you could see what it looks like when it's on a pillow. ***  I crocheted this using mostly 100% acrylic yarn. There are a few small elements here and there that were crocheted using 100% cotton yarn or 100% wool yarn.   Care instructions: I recommend not putting it in a washing machine or dryer, as this may damage or destroy it. If needed, spot wash or hand wash in cool water with a gentle soap. After washing, roll it up in a large towel and press as much water out as possible. Do not wring it out, as this could cause the cover to stretch out and become mis-shapened.  Lay flat to dry. Do not hang it to dry, as the weight of the wet yarn will cause it to stretch.
