This pillow pattern combines two crochet favorites: granny squares and the corner-to-corner (C2C) diagonal box stitch. A button closure makes it easy to wash the cover or change it out seasonally. Use three or more colors and six buttons for your version. This is the second pattern in the 2024 Cozy at Home Crochet Along.
