Hi everybody! Brenna from BrennaAnnHandmade here, and I’m super excited to show you all this fun, textured crochet pillow for October’s FREE pattern in collaboration with HobiumYarns! 😀

Finished Pillow Size: Approximately 12″ x 12″

Here’s what you’re going to need:

Materials:
2 skeins of Kartopu ALPACA POLO yarn in Red
6mm Addi Bamboo crochet hook
Scissors
Large Eye Tapestry Needle (for sewing top & weaving in ends)
A bunch of yarn scraps OR polly-fill for stuffing the pillow.

Abbreviations:
ch = chain
st = stitch
sc = single crochet
bl = back loop

Directions: (Make 2)

Ch 50

Row 1: Put 1 sc in the 2nd ch from hook, and in each ch across.

Row 2: Ch 1, turn work.

Put 1 sc in the 1st st from previous row.

Next, put 1 sc in the bl of the next st, and every st across, until you have 1 st left.

Put 1 regular sc into the last st of the row.

Rows 3-46 : Repeat row 2.

Cut yarn, leaving an extra long tail to sew up pillow. Repeat steps to make 1 more side for the pillow.

Finishing: (sewing up the pillow) Using the long tails of yarn threaded through the tapestry needle, sew the 2 sides of the pillow together, until you have just 1/2 of the last side left unsewn.

Then, stuff the pillow until it’s completely full of yarn scarps (or poly-fill stuffing), and then continue to sew the entire pillow closed.

Weave in all ends. All finished! 🙂
