Stitches Used
Chain (ch)
Slip Stitch (sl st)
Single Crochet (sc)
Double Crochet (dc)
Foundation Double Crochet (fdc)
You Will Need
- 7 oz. Worsted Weight Yarn - turquoise (color A)
- 7 oz. Worsted Weight Yarn - pink (color B)
- or (2) 7 oz. skeins of worsted weight yarn in colors of your choice
- J/6mm hook
- 18″ pillow form
- Needle to weave in ends
I worked two rows across the same way (one row of each color), then carried my yarn up the side and worked two rows (one of each color) across the opposite way. You don’t have to work it this way, but it will save a lot of weaving in ends and the carried yarn will be hidden in the border.
Pillow Front
With Color A, Fdc 60. This should measure 17″.
Row Instructions
R1) Ch 3, dc in second stitch and next two stitches. [Ch 10, dc in next 4 stitches.] Repeat between []’s across.
R2) Join color B. Ch 3, dc in second stitch and next stitch. [Skip next stitch, ch 10. Dc 2 in next stitch, dc in next two stitches, dc 2 in next stitch. Ch 10. Skip next stitch, dc in next two stitches.] Repeat between []’s. Dc in last stitch.
R3) With color A, ch 3, dc in second stitch, dc 2 in next stitch. Ch 10. Skip next stitch, dc in next 4 stitches, skip next stitch. [Ch 10, dc 2 in next two stitches. Ch 10. Skip next stitch, dc in next 4 stitches, skip next stitch.] Repeat between []’s across. Ch 10, dc 2 in next stitch, dc in each of last two stitches.
R4) Color B, ch 3, dc in second stitch, dc in next stitch, dc 2 in next stitch. Ch 10. Skip next stitch, dc in next 2 stitches, skip next stitch. [Ch 10. Dc 2 in next stitch, dc in next 2 stitches, dc 2 in next stitch. Ch 10. Skip next stitch, dc in next 2 stitches, skip next stitch.] Repeat between []’s across. Ch 10, dc 2 in next stitch, dc in each of last 3.
R5) Color A, ch 3, dc in second stitch and next two stitches. [Skip next stitch, ch 10. Dc 2 in next 2 stitches. Ch 10, skip next stitch, dc in next 4 stitches.] Repeat between []’s across.
R6-9) Repeat rows 2-5.
R10-13) Repeat rows 2-5.
R14-17) Repeat rows 2-5.
R18-21) Repeat rows 2-5.
R22-25) Repeat rows 2-5.
R26-27) Repeat rows 2-3.
R28) Color B, ch 3, dc in second dc and each dc across. (60 stitches) Finish off. Weave all loops together before completing row 29, including loops from row 27.
R29) Color A, ch 3, dc in second stitch and next stitch. When working dc in next stitch, pass needle through top of loop from row 27, then complete dc as normal. Dc in each stitch across, catching corresponding loop from row 27 in every fourth stitch.
Border
Ch 3, turn. Dc in second stitch and each stitch across. Work 2 dc at corner, then dc 2 into every stitch down the side. Work 2 dc in corner, then dc in each stitch across. Work 2 dc at corner, then dc 2 into every stitch up other side. Work 2 dc in corner, join with sl st to beginning ch. Finish off.
Weaving the Loops Together
*This graph should explain why I have never been, am not now, nor will I ever claim to be, an artist, lol. There are some amazing artists in my family but I am NOT one of them!
Hopefully though, even though it lacks in artistic value, it will still help to make sense of the weaving process. Black ink represents the turquoise and red ink represents the pink. I did not show the fdc row on this graph.
And since I couldn’t figure out any way to get a full graph of the pillow to fit one photo and still be clear, we are going to work off of a smaller graph. The principle will still be the same, you will just have more repeats across than what we will be showing.
Ok, let’s start weaving. When working a row, you will be working the loops of that row and the loops of the previous row.
Row Weaving Instructions
R1) Skip loop A. Pull loop C through loop B. Pull loop E through loop D. Skip loop F.
R2) Give loop A a twist, then pull loop G through loop A. Pull loop H through loop C. Pull loop I through loop B. Pull loop J through loop E. Pull loop K through loop D. Pull loop L through loop F.
R3) Pull loop A through loop G. Pull loop B through loop H. Pull loop C through loop I. Pull loop D through loop J. Pull loop E through loop K. Pull loop F through loop L. Still working on row 3, go back and pull loop B through loop A. Pull loop D through loop C. Pull loop F through loop E.
R4) Pull loop G through loop B. Pull loop H through loop A. Pull loop I through loop D. Pull loop J through loop C. Pull loop K through loop F. Pull loop L through loop E.
R5) Pull loop A through loop G. Pull loop B through H. Pull loop C through loop I. Pull loop D through loop J. Pull loop E through loop K. Pull loop F through loop L. Still working on row 5, go back and pull loops through each other as directed in row 1.
The pattern will now repeat itself, although it will not be necessary to continue to twist the beginning and ending loops on row 2. (The twist just helped to hold the stitching together on the first row since those loops did not loop into anything else.)
Pillow Back
R1) With color A, ch 3, work 15 dc into first ch made. Sl st to top of beginning chain.
Row Instructions
R2) Ch 2. In same stitch work 1 dc, ch 1, 2 dc. [Dc in next 3 stitches. In next stitch work 2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc.] Repeat [] 2 more times. Dc in last 3 stitches, join with sl st to beginning ch.

Weave in all remaining ends on pillow back and front. Place pillow top and bottom together, wrong side facing each other. (Right side out.) Ch 1, then sc evenly around with color B, working through the stitches on both the pillow back and front. Once you have worked around 3 sides, insert the pillow form and stitch together the last side. Ch 1, turn. Sc in first stitch. [Skip next stitch, 5 dc in next stitch.
