The aligned cobble stitch is worked in multiples of 2 by doing a sc in one st, and a tr in the following st, this is repeated until the end of the row. You then turn your work and work a sc in each st until the end of the row. This st is worked in rows of 2. 

This pillow is worked like a solid granny square, which I will explain below 

The ch 3 in rounds 1-5 counts as a dc 

The corner st is 5 sts (2 dc, tr, 2 dc) worked into one st and remains the same for rounds 2 – 5
