Learn How to Crochet a Pillow for Beginners and Make this Easy "Simple Crochet Pillow" Pattern

[@1028morgen]

Oh my gosh..made my first pillow cover using this stitch. So easy. But instead of making 2 ( a front and back), I opted to make one very long piece, adding extra length to create a fold over flap. I single crocheted the edges for a nice finish. Then I single crocheted the back sc loop of front of pillow to front sc loop of back of pillow. Made a beautiful edge. Somehow it worked out. Thank you for your great instructions.

[@antonette7801]

Finished making this today. It was my first pillow. I have made other items. Beautiful easy stitch however it did stretch out and luckily i had an 18" form to fill it. My advice would be keep an eye on the stretch of your particular yarn. Live and learn

[@jototheworldcreations]

Thank you for sharing and letting us know! I hope you enjoyed making this pillow.

[@marymatthews8030]

You’re a natural born teacher! I love The way you demonstrate as to explain what you’re doing. Very clear and easy to follow along. I was Wondering if you have any springtime pillow cover tutorials?

[@jototheworldcreations]

Wow! Thank you! That's so nice of you to say. I don't have a video tutorial for this Sunflower Pillow Pattern but if you're okay with colorwork and following a written pattern, this is a lovely springtime pillow: jototheworld.com/crochet-sunflower-pillow-pattern

Thank you so much. My pillow turned out amazing. I would have loved if you could have showed us how you attached the tassels. Some of us need step by step help lol ❤️

[@jototheworldcreations]

Wonderful! What tassels? :) The pattern doesn’t include any tassels on this pillow. Perhaps you’re thinking of a different pattern?

[@FD-qd7zy]

@@jototheworldcreations I'm so sorry. That's obviously why you didn't include them and I seem to have just "carried on" and added tassels on my own. Having a good laugh at myself. Subscribed and excited to check out your other videos!! Thank you so much.

[@jototheworldcreations]

No worries at all! Thank you so much!

[@kaniali5818]

Hey what a beautiful pillow! I would like to recreate it but i'm not sure on how i would wash the pillow case if i close all four sides with single crochets?

[@jototheworldcreations]

Thank you! For this pattern, you can wash it with a cloth or you can soak it in water and lay flat to dry. I have other pillow cover patterns that are removable but wanted to keep this one as easy as possible for beginners :)

[@PeachesCream-hh8mz]

I stumbled upon this video while searching through to make a “hugging “ pillow for my 2 year old grand daughter. It’s beautiful. Should I make with pillow insert or stuffing? Can’t decide. I would like for it to be easy to wash when it gets dirty. Need advice.

[@jototheworldcreations]

Hello! Thank yo so much! This pattern was designed to go over either stuffing or an insert. :) I find the pillow washes easily either with a damp cloth or by handwashing and leaving out to dry. Hope you enjoy making it!

[@AnaXoxo22]

What a great tutorial, thank you so much!

[@jototheworldcreations]

Thank you!!! I really appreciate your comment!

[@tinamanailovich5641]

Absolutely love this pattern. Question: I would like to put 2 different colors in, can that be done. Thank you.

[@jototheworldcreations]

Thank you! You can definitely make it with two colors. I made a similar Christmas pillow and used red and black for the belt: jototheworld.com/crochet-christmas-pillow-pattern Hope you enjoy making it!

[@kenziehargrave520]

If I were to make this a different size, do I need to end my chain on an even or odd number?

[@jototheworldcreations]

Hello! You can adjust the width by making more or less starting chains in multiples of 2 + 1 (an odd number).

[@deborahhamsho4799]

My pillows come out lopsided and loose at the corners with the pillow inserts. Any suggestions? Nice video! Looking forward to more designs of yours. The paw print! Nice pet gift!!!!

[@jototheworldcreations]

Oh no! You can try using a smaller hook if they are too big for the insert. Also, they shouldn’t be lopsided as each row has the same number of stitches. Have you been counting your stitches? Thanks so much for the kind words and I hope you enjoy making more of my patterns!

[@tracylitsinger]

maybe use some stuffing in thr corners to "fill" them up

[@winningnumbers]

What if I need to wash this? How do I take the pillow insert out?

[@jototheworldcreations]

Hello! You can soak to wash or wash with a cloth.

[@Uhlegna]

I notice you Yarn Under when pulling up a loop. You don’t mention that here or in the pattern linked. I’ve read that doing that will make the stitches a bit tighter. Do you think that is key to getting this look? Would it make much difference if you always Yarn Over?

[@jototheworldcreations]

Hello! No, you're not supposed to yarn under. When I first started doing video tutorials, I accidentally yarned under. My apologies for the confusion. You should just crochet normally and always yarn over when pulling up a loop. :)

[@michellesnailessentials595]

How many would I cast on for. 20 x 20 pillow. I want to cover an existing pillow

[@jototheworldcreations]

Hello! Each panel is made from the chain row up. The number of starting chains determines the width and the number of rows determines the height. You can adjust the width by making more or less starting chains in multiples of 2 + 1 (which means you’ll need an odd number of starting chains). You can adjust the height by making more or less rows. I don't have the exact number of chains to make the pillow a different size as I've only designed, made and tested this pillow with the size listed in the pattern. You are welcome to experiment with a different number of chains using the multiple of starting chains provided above :)

[@brianacerda7136]

Will this pattern still work if you use Light (3) yarn?

[@jototheworldcreations]

Hi there! All my patterns are designed and tested with the yarn weight and hook that is listed in the pattern. You are welcome to try something else but the size, overall look and feel of your finished item as well as the amount of yarn required may be different. Here are two articles you might find helpful: jototheworld.com/yarn-weights-and-types-chart jototheworld.com/crochet-hook-sizes-chart

[@ittsMaria]

When finishing the last row for the 1st panel do i slip stich to close off ?

[@jototheworldcreations]

After the last row of the first panel, fasten off, which means to cut the yarn from your skein and pull the end through the loop that was on your hook and pull tight. Hope this helps.

[@beverlywheeler]

My pillow form iis 18 x 18. How many stitches would I need?

[@jototheworldcreations]

You’re welcome to adjust the number of starting chains in multiples of 2+1.

[@jodiemagill01]

Questions my Measurement says over 21 is that ok ? Or am I doing it wrong I have 75 rows please let me know when you can thanks 😊 jm

[@jototheworldcreations]

After Row 2, the pillow width should measure approx 16.5” (it should grow to 17” after Row 8). Row 3 and on: Repeat Row 2 until your pillow height is 17” (approximately 49 rows). Hope this helps!

[@jodiemagill01]

I'm not good with measurements or numbers was looking to see if you were on Facebook bc I have disability and numbers is the one thing I have have troubles with counting I can do sometimes I did it with the row counter which really helped me alot . So let me know if you have Facebook so I can send you a picture 📸 of it please 🙏 thank you 😊 jm

[@kyonnal1103]

Good morning , I have a question I reading up on the stitch pattern lemon peel stitch it has to be done in an even number setting when I did the foundation chain up to 57 for some reason I don’t end with a dc stitch and I am also skipping that first stitch working from hook I end off in sc stitch towards end. Is it something I am doing wrong maybe.

[@jototheworldcreations]

Hello! After making 57 chains, make a single crochet in the second chain from the hook. In the next chain, make a double crochet. You'll now have 54 chains left. For the rest of the row, repeat: single crochet in the next chain, double crochet in the next chain. Your second last stitch should be a single crochet in the second last chain. Your last stitch should be a double crochet in the last chain. Hope this helps!

[@kyonnal1103]

Perfect everything is looking good now thank god. I do have one more question if I was to work in both the front and back loop after the foundation chain would that make a difference to how my pillow comes out. so when starting row 2 for example instead of working through just the back loop starting off row 1 could I start off row 1 working through both the front and back loop starting off that first sc stitch?

[@jototheworldcreations]

Hi! Just to clarify, you only work into the back ridge loop on Row 1. For Row 2 and on, you will work normally into the top two loops. Hopefully that helps!

[@missngelacxu]

So easy just takes awhile

[@jototheworldcreations]

Glad you found it easy! I found it worked up quite quickly compared to other stitches.

[@maddiefeldner9342]

Is it okay if I do less chains to make my work shorter? It keeps getting so large! Like 45 chains?

[@jototheworldcreations]

Sure! Each panel is made from the chain row up. The number of starting chains determines the width and the number of rows determines the height. You can adjust the width by making more or less starting chains in multiples of 2 + 1 (which means you'll need an odd number of starting chains). You can adjust the height by making more or less rows.

[@maddiefeldner9342]

How do I cut and weave in all the loose ends once I finish a panel?

[@jototheworldcreations]

Hello! You can fasten off by cutting your yarn from the skein, leaving about an 8" tail. Then using a yarn needle, weave that tail into the back of the panel, hiding and securing it into stitches. You can watch my Beginner Baby Blanket video tutorial at 1:00:40: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYOWoJxqad-soLs which shows how or there are lots of specific video tutorials if you search on KZbin for "how to weave in ends crochet." Hope this helps!

[@escape8056]

Is it not possible making this using cotton yarn? I’m new to crocheting and don’t quite understand what materials can be used for what projects yet

[@jototheworldcreations]

Hi there! I haven't tested it with cotton yarn. I'm not sure if the size would be the same. You're welcome to try of course and if you do, I'd love to hear how it turns out!

[@fionaalvarez5854]

can i use this pattern and then add ruffles on the sides?

[@jototheworldcreations]

I can't see why not!

[@cianelson6102]

Can you use cotton yarn for this pattern?

[@jototheworldcreations]

I’ve only made and tested it with the yarn listed in the pattern but I believe that as long as it’s the same yarn weight, it should be okay

[@cianelson6102]

Thank you so much and Thanks for a very easy video to follow💜

How would I do this for a 14 inch pillow ?

[@jototheworldcreations]

This pattern was designed and tested to be this specific size and as much as I wish I could tell you what hook size and number of starting chains for a smaller pillow, I haven’t made it in a smaller size. You are welcome to try using a smaller hook or making a smaller number of starting chains to get the size you’re looking for!
