Crochet Pillow Pattern Inspiration

As I mentioned above, the possibilities with this pillow crochet pattern are endless.

I must say I was not intending to make a cushion cover using this square pattern. However, I was taking part in a crochet along involving multiple crochet bloggers.

We all designed a single afghan crochet square for people to make into a blanket. So, I designed one square.

After I wrote the pattern, I wasn’t sure whether the written words would be clear enough for beginner crocheters.

As I wanted everyone to succeed, I thought it would be handy if the pattern came with a video tutorial too. This way, everyone taking part in the CAL would be able to make it.

That has left me with 2 granny squares. Rather than wasting them or leaving them on the WIP (work-in-progress) pile, I put them to a good use and made this crochet pillow cover.

I then made the back of the cushion with the leftover yarn. I kept the back simple and just opted for plain stripes as I wasn’t sure how far the used yarn balls would go!

However, I think the combination of super pretty front panel and simple back panel works perfectly.

Yarn I Used For Crochet Pillow Pattern

For this beautiful crochet pillow cover I have used King Cole Aran Fashion yarn.

It is a worsted weight yarn that is lovely to work with. However, I will say, it is not the softest acrylic and can be a little scratchy due to the wool content. It is 70% acrylic and 30% wool mix.

The reason I say this, is that uf you wanted to actually use it as a pillow to rest your head on, I would choose a softer yarn.

However, if you are planning to use it as a cushion for show to decorate your space, this yarn will work just fine.

For the whole cushion cover you will need 1 ball in Natural, Pink and Coll colors.

Crochet Pillow Pattern Written Instructions

Crochet Pillow Front Panel Pattern

For the front panel, you will need 4 granny squares – Liana Granny square. You can find the pattern free on my blog.

Visit Free Crochet Granny Square Flower Pattern for the pattern as well as full video tutorial. Make four squares following the pattern.

Block your squares firmly to dimensions. Then join your squares together using your preferred method.

Here is how I join mine:

Line up squares with right sides facing, so you will be working on the wrong side. Insert your hook through the front loop of the square near you and the back loop of the square away from you.

Using single crochet stitch, crochet all 4 squares together forming the front panel of the pillow.

Crochet Pillow Back Panel Pattern

The back panel uses 2 separate pieces that overlap to create an opening for the cushion insert. You can then remove the insert for washing and cleaning of the crochet pillow cover.

For the first piece, using yarn A, chain 44.

Row 1: starting in 4th ch from hook (first 3 ch counts as dc here and throughout), 1 dc across, turn. [42 dc]

Row 2: 3 ch, 1 dc across turn. [42 dc]

Continue repeating Row 2 changing colors every 2 rows following sequence yarn C, yarn A, yarn B, yarn A until you have 14 rows in total. Fasten off.

For the second piece, follow the same pattern until you have 10 rows in total, fasten off.

When put together the back panel consists of 22 rows with 2 rows of each piece of fabric overlapping for the opening.

Finishing Instructions

Line up the front panel and the larger piece of the back panel with right sides facing, so that you work on the wrong side.

Using your preferred method, attach the two pieces at the top and down both sides. I used needle and yarn and sewn mine together using whip stitch.

Then place the smaller piece of the back panel in position. Line up the two – front panel and second piece of back panel – at the top edge and create a 2-row overlap with the other back panel piece and sew together. Sew across the top and down both sides leaving an opening in the middle for the cushion insert.

Sew in all ends securely and turn right side out. Place your cushion insert inside and enjoy!
