Crochet Your Own Cozy Throw Pillows !
I’ve been updating our sofa throw pillows over the past few weeks. I bought a few, and then decided to crochet a couple of them myself. After all, crochet pillows add an extra cozy vibe, which I absolutely love! In doing so, I came up with a new crochet pillow cover pattern! And as usual, I’m so stoked to share it with you guys! This is a quick and simple pattern and I took lots of photos so that it would be as easy as possible to follow.

For this pillow, I chose We Crochet’s Swish Bulky weight yarn in Nutmeg Heather since I wanted to soften the space up. Plus, Bulky yarn is great for crocheting pillow covers for a couple of reasons. First of all, it works up quickly, so you can make a few covers in no time. This is perfect if you’re selling your creations or just don’t have a lot of time to spend on each one. And secondly, bulky yarn is super squishy—which is exactly what you want when you’re making a pillow cover, of course!
As I mentioned earlier, I’ve included plenty of photos throughout the pattern. That way, if you’re a visual learner, you’ll have extra support every step of the way. Also, I know many of you like to double-check that you’re on the right track as you go. With that in mind, these photos are here to guide you through the rounds!
