The Easiest Crochet Cable Pillow You Will Ever Make!

Hey everyone! Are you ready for an easy pattern and video for learning how to make this crochet cable pillow?

I recently had the privilege of designing a throw pillow for an Instagram Home Decor influencer. She was an absolute joy to work with and I love the outcome of our collab together.

This pillow was created for her back patio she was redoing. She loves texture and wanted something simple, yet eye-catching. Together we came up with a centered crochet cable braid front accompanied by an envelope styled close in the back. I adore the outcome!

 

Bernat MAKER Home Decor Yarn

Because she was going to be using these pillows outside, I decided to use the Bernat MAKER Home Decor yarn. It is extremely soft and has great lay to the design. I also like how it’s not as heavy as some t-shirt yarns. It’s very lightweight and perfect for throw pillows in an outdoor space.

 

Below you will find the pattern, a link to the ad-FREE PDF on Ravelry and a video tutorial!

+ASSEMBLING

Laying right sides together, you will want to be sure you overlap the back panels evenly. Taking your tapestry needle or a crochet hook, you will start in the center of the cable and seam the pillow closed all the way around. ***refer to the video if you need a visual representation of how to do this.
