This Simple Crochet Pillow pattern is a very easy cushion cover pattern and beginner friendly. The pillow pattern that we will be following makes a pillow cover that is 17″ x 17″ and fits perfectly over a 16″ x 16″ pillow insert. You can also use pillow stuffing instead of a pillow insert. 13 sts and 12 rows following the pattern. I recommend using pillow stuffing if you don’t want to worry about exact sizing. If using a pillow insert, you’ll want to check gauge before starting (here’s a Guide to Gauge).

There are also measurements throughout the pattern to ensure that your pillow cover will fit over your pillow insert. Yarn: Any size 4 (medium), 100% acrylic yarn. You’ll need approx. 600 yds. I used Impeccable by Loops & Threads in the color "Pale Grey." A skein is 285 yds / 260 m and 4.5 oz / 127.5 g. I used two and a quarter skeins. Crochet Hook: H/8 (5.00 mm) or size needed to obtain gauge. Other Materials: yarn needle, scissors, measuring tape, pillow stuffing or one 16" x 16" pillow insert. Always start a row in the first stitch (the stitch attached to the chain). Chain 1 does not count as a stitch. The front and back pillow panels are exactly same. Each panel is made from the chain row up. The number of starting chains determines the width and the number of rows determines the height. 1 (which means you’ll need an odd number of starting chains). You can adjust the height by making more or less rows.

In the next chain, sc. Ch 1 and turn. Row 2: Sc in the first st (the top of the last dc you completed). Dc in the next stitch (the top of the sc from the previous row). Ch 1 and turn. Row 3 and on: Repeat Row 2 until your pillow height is 17" (approximately 49 rows). Fasten off and weave in loose ends. Make note of how many rows you complete as you should make the exact same number of rows for both panels. Repeat these instructions to create a second pillow panel. Place one panel directly on top of the other (it doesn’t mater which side is facing up) with the chain rows of both at the bottom and the stitches perfectly lined up. Attach a new strand of yarn to the bottom right corner stitch with a sl st (insert your hook from the top through both panels, put yarn on hook, pull yarn through both pieces and sl st).
