Simple Crochet Throw Pillow Cover Design

I’ve always loved decorating my couches and chairs with pillows. You might remember the Crochet Square Pillow design I made from last year too!

As much as I loved the old design, I decided to create a crochet pillow cover that had buttons because if your anything like me keeping them clean (hello pet hair & kids) is always a struggle.

This Crochet Pillow Cover is Made to Match!

A few months ago, I released the Ombre Ripple Crochet Blanket pattern keeping in my mind, I eventually would love to make a pillow to match.

I used the same Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice colors in Linen, Silver Blue, Navy & White so they would go perfectly on my couch with my crochet ripple blanket.

    Hi I’ve made this pattern for a 16” square pillow and I had to chain 61 sc for it to fit, it’s referenced as 18” and a 16” when it’s actually maybe a 12” pattern?

      Hi Kathy,

      What was your gauge? Gauge is approx. 5 sc for every 2″ It will make a big difference when determining what size pillow the pattern will fit. I hope this helps and happy crocheting!
