My sister asked me a while ago if I could make her a pink plaid pillow, and I finally had some time to make it! I needed to have it ready for last weekend, and I ended up having to finish it in the morning right before she arrived! This pillow uses tapestry crochet to change color, and there is a photo tutorial to explain this process. There is also a video on my YouTube channel that demonstrates how to make one side of the pillow (the front and back of the pillow are identical). If you have never tried tapestry crochet before, don’t worry, I will walk you through the process in the video!
This pattern could easily be adjusted to make a blanket by adding more rows. I might make a blanket with it sometime!
I used Blue Sky Fibers Organic Cotton yarn (100% organic cotton; 100 g/ 150 yd skeins): 2 shell (light pink), 1 lotus (hot pink), and 1 bone (cream). However, any medium or worsted weight yarn would work well! You will also need an 18 by 18 in (46 by 46 cm) pillow insert and 5 buttons (2 cm in diameter). The buttons allow the pillowcase to be taken on and off the pillow insert. I hope you enjoy the pattern!
