This pattern is fun for advanced beginners and up, and the perfect home decor for Valentine’s Day. Venus’ Lounge Pillow is a simply-constructed crochet throw pillow inspired by Valentine’s Day chocolate boxes and the sweets within them.

Venus’ Lounge Pillow works up with a simple construction that makes it easy for beginners to get the hang of things. Crochet two hearts and seam together along the edge with a simple single crochet edging, pausing to stuff it before closing it entirely. Then attach CC yarn and crochet the ruffle!

It’s easy as can be, works up so fast in bulky weight five yarn, and is the perfect subtle Valentine’s Day decor for the living room or bedroom.
