Crochet Pillow

So, you know that yarn Ang and I bought during the sister retreat? This is what I made with the yarn! I know, I got it done fast! This is my first crochet pillow. I have sewn many pillows, but I never have crocheted any. Except, I don't want to snuggle with it too much because I want to put it in the fair so I want it to stay nice and fluffy.

Ok, for all you crafty crocheters out there, here is how I made the pillow:

Supplies:

• 12x12 pillow form
• 2 skeins angel yarn from Joann fabrics
• size J crochet hook
• large safety pins~6

Pattern:
row 1: ch 36, sc in 2nd loop from hook, sc across. ch 1, turn.
row 2: sc across, ch 1 turn.
row 3-?: alternate doing sc and tc (triple crochet) across rows, always ch 1 before turning. Continue with this pattern until you have crocheted a square. (fold corners together to be able to tell if you have made a square)

For the back: If you have enough yarn, you can to the same pattern as for the front, or you can just do dc (double crochet) all the way. I started the back the same as the front except changed to dc (ch 36, dc in 2nd lp from hook). Do dc all the way until you have made a square.

Putting it together: Put the front and back squares on the pillow form and pin it with safety pins. Sc all the way around the pillow connecting the front and back panels.

Ta-da! Your pillow is all finished! Now it's time for a nap! :)
