The time it takes to crochet pillow patterns depends on the complexity of the pattern. The following instructions are for a ring bearer’s pillow. If you can crochet a square, this project will be easy.
Required Materials
Fiberfill
Clear nail polish
Ribbon
Yarn needle
Scissors
Worsted weight yarn (hook size is H or 1)
Step 1
Use any color you like and crochet a square. Any stitch style will do, but make sure that you end up with crocheted fabric. Avoid the lacy open pattern. Here, double stitches will be employed. For fiberfill stuffing, the square can be made into any size. For a pre-made pillow form, ensure the sizes match.
Step 2
Create the 2nd square in the same manner you did the initial square. Sew the squares on the 3 sides. Connect the 2 squares with the wrong sides facing. You will have to use a whipstitch with a long yarn strand. The yarn needle will also be needed.
Step 3
Fasten a ribbon through the middle of the square at the top. When you crochet pillow patterns, make sure to leave some ribbon length projecting from the pillow. Cover the ribbon ends using some nail polish.
Step 4
Stuff the pillow. Pack it in until the pillow gets firm.
Step 5
Sew the 4th side. Use the whipstitch, yarn and yarn needle for this task. Fasten the ends. Weave the yarn. Leave this below the exposed portion of the project. Add some lace or beads if you like.
Tips and Reminders
Crocheting is not difficult. There are many types of stitches, and you’ll need to learn more than a few if you want to make complex patterns. But after you understand the basics, the rest will be easy.
When you learn to make a loop for the chain stitch, you can build on this. The loop and chain stitch are the foundation for even the most complex patterns.
The chain stitch is the starting point not just for pillow patterns but all stitches. It is here that the other stitches will be set. These include the half double crochet, single crochet, double and treble crochet.
Other stitches include the triple treble crochet and afghan. Eventually you will learn that the pillow patterns are centered upon these stitches. The stitches you skip will vary depending on the pillow design too.
By employing these simple techniques, you will find it easy to crochet pillow patterns. Feel free to experiment with different types of stitches too.
