A simple stitch pattern comes to life with added embroidery!

This throw pillow is crocheted in a simple herringbone half double crochet stitch pattern. The arrow embroidery is added after crocheting is complete—it makes this asymmetrical pillow design intricate and unique!

This pillow pattern was designed to fit a 12” × 20” pillow form; the back of this pillow is crocheted in two pieces which creates a little opening so you can remove the pillow form if needed. Alternatively, this pattern also has instructions for a single piece backing, if you would prefer to use stuffing.

You will need to print out the arrow pattern tracer on the last page of this document which will help you position the arrow design.
