I love trying to incorporate yarn crafts into all aspects of daily life. One way I try to do so is through home decor. With a little imagination and a brand new crochet stitch you can create adorable home accessories you love and appreciate because you made it yourself!
You’re friends might even think you’re been secretly making trips to Anthropologie without them! But you’ll know the truth 🙂
Today’s pattern is easy and simple! Something you could complete in about an hour. Â Maybe two if you’re not as fast of a crocheter.
TOOLS
The beauty of this pattern is the items you’re using to make it:
– 2 skeins super bulky yarn (I used BigTwist Natural Blend in the color crimson).
– size 9.00mm hook
– pillow form insert size 12×12
– tapestry needle
– scissors
For the pattern you are making 2 panels. I decided at the last minute to add the tassels for a more fun look. However without the tassels it still makes for a great throw pillow! You can choose whether or not you would like to add these on the corners.

The PATTERN:
PANEL 1(front side)
CH 26
R1 – Beginning in the 2nd CH from the hook, DC all the way across, CH 2, turn.
R2 – * FPTR (front post treble crochet) in the next post st, DC in the next st. Repeat from * all the way across. CH 1, turn.
R3 – SC all the way across. CH 2, turn.
R4 – *DC in the next st, FPTR in the next post sts. Repeat from * all the way across. CH 1, turn
R5 – SC all the way across. CH 2, turn.
R6 – 17 is a repeat of rows 2-5
R18 – DC all the way across, CH 1, turn.
R19 -SC all the way across, tie off.
ATTACHING THE PANELS
Place the right sides together. Using your tapestry needle and a long piece of yarn, begin sewing 3 sides of the pillow together. Once you reach the last side, flip the casing right side out, insert the pillow and then seam up your opening.
At this point you will weave in your ends and attach you tassels to each corner. Or you could add pompous or leave it bare. The design is totally up to you!

I have read through the pattern and I found the instructions for the front panel but not for the back panel. Am I just not seeing it? Please tell me where to find this information. I love the way the pillow looks and want to make some for Christmas gifts. Thank you for sharing you wonderful ideas.
