This easy crochet pillow pattern is so simple with only one stitch! It is a variation of a traditional granny square, but with the small change from double crochet stitches to the bean stitch. This one tiny change adds such a pretty texture!

This pillow pattern is designed to match the Spill the Beans Blanket pattern, also designed by CAABCrochet.
