Free Pillow Cover Crochet Pattern

June 8, 2016

Free Pillow Cover Crochet Pattern

This project has been brewing in my mind for a long time.  I promised my beautiful little girl a few months ago that I would make her some cute throw pillows to match her new bedding.  But life has a way of spiralling out of control sometimes, and  I wasn’t able to dedicate much time to work on them until this past week.

As you can see from the photo below, the bedding is full of colour.  My idea was to make two pillows with a different colour on each side so that she can mix and match them when making her bed for a different look each day!  I’m hoping this will entice her to actually make her bed!

Free Pillow Cover Crochet Pattern

The pattern for these pillow covers is outlined below and I hope you will love it as much as I do.  Its easy, and quick and so pretty.  You need to know how to do front and back post double crochet.  If you are unfamiliar with those stitches, don’t be discouraged. I have created a video tutorial that I hope will help you.


I have written out and posted the free pattern for this throw pillow cover below on this page. 

You may also purchase the ad-free instant download PDF file for easy printing and reading.  Purchasing the PDF file helps to support this website and allows me to continue to share my patterns and inspiration with you. 

Should you have any issues with the download, please email: info@leeleeknits.com for assistance.  

You can Purchase the PDF file (which will be emailed to you automatically after purchase) for $5 USD through Ravelry or by clicking the button below.

Free Pillow Cover Crochet Pattern

What you will need

Here is what you will need to make these pillow covers:

  • A size H-8 (5 mm) Crochet Hook.
  • Knit Picks Mighty Stitch Yarn .
    • 1.5 Skeins Sky.
    • 1.5 Skeins White.
    • 1.5 Skeins Mint.
    • 1.5 Skeins Blush.
  • Scissors.
  • Tapestry/Yarn needle to sew up seams.
  • Two 14″ X14″ Pillow Forms.

Measurements

Each square will measure 14 ” X 14 “.

Special Stitches:

FPDC: Front Post Double Crochet.

BPDC: Back Post Double Crochet.

Pattern:

This pattern is for a 14″ X 14″ pillow form.  If you would like to make the cover larger, you can chain a multiple of 6 plus 5.  The beginning chain should be at least the length of the pillow form width.

You will be making 4 squares by following the pattern below for each colour:

Chain 59.

Row 1 (WS): DC in fourth chain from hook and in each remaining chain.  CH3 (counts as first DC of following row) and turn.

Row 2: FPDC around each of the first 2 dc; * BPDC around each of the next 3 dc, FPDC around each of the next 3 dc; repeat from * to end of row; CH3 and turn.

Repeat row 2 until work measures 14 inches.  Fasten off.

See diagram below for visual.

Finishing:

Now that you have four squares (one for each pillow side), choose two colours that you would like on the same pillow. Note that you will not see the two colours of the same pillow together, so you should lay them out and see what combinations look best to you.

Line up the two squares and sew up the seams for three sides of the pillow cover using some extra yarn and a tapestry (yarn) needle.  Insert the pillow form and continue to sew up the last side.  Weave in the loose ends.

    This is an amazing pattern! I do have one question though. How do you sew up the seams? I have never made anything that required sewing so I’m not sure how to make it look nice. Is it a pattern you use? Thank you for posting such a beautiful pattern!

      Thanks! I’m sorry I do not have a tutorial for how to sew seams yet. There are many techniques out there if you do a quick google search and find the one that appeals most to you. Here is a good one: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-join-crochet-seams-with-whipstitch.html

    Does your pattern run 14″ across or longer to accommodate for pillow fluff. I’m using a 3.75 hook and still getting around 17.5″ after the first round

      Yes that sounds right, it should be a bit longer to accommodate for the pillow fluff.

      Hi Dina,
      If you want to make a pillow cover for a 14X14″ pillow form, then chain 59. However, if you would like to make it larger, then you can chain a multiple of 6 plus 5 for the size of the pillow form.

    Hi. Thanks for sharing your pattern! I love textured designs? One question though before I start? At the start (chaining part), how do i approximate the size that would fit my pillow. You see, I can only use yarn thats readily available where I live and they dont indicate the weight. I think it’s close to the worsted weight category though diff. Colors have diff. Thicknesses. This phrase is a bit confusing ” the beginning chain should be at least the length of the pillow form width. “. Would you mind clarifying? Thanks so much. Best regards.

    it’s a lovely stitch. Can this be made bigger into a blanket?

      Yup! Chain a multiple of 6 plus 5 until you have your desired length for the width of your blanket.

      Yes, you can chain a multiple of 6 plus 5. The length of the chain will depend on how wide you would like your afghan.
