Loops & Fringe Crochet Pillow
I had so much fun designing and making this crochet pillow pattern. Plus, the end result is a pillow with some amazing texture.
It’s also a great way to use up your yarn stash, which is what I did. I had some skeins of ivory and black laying around, just begging to be turned into something.
The Stitches
This crochet pillow pattern uses basic single crochet stitches, plus the double loop stitch.
The double loop stitch took me a few tries to really get it down, but once I did, it worked up very quickly. And just look at the results!
I would recommend practicing this stitch if you’re not familiar with it before you start making the boho crochet pillow.
You can watch this tutorial for how to do the double loop stitch.
The Colors + The Yarn
As I mentioned, this is a great pattern to use up your yarn stash.
I had three skeins of Yarn Bee Soft & Sleek leftover from a gift I received. It’s so soft, which is perfect for making the loop stitches. Trust me when I say you won’t be able to stop rubbing your hands along the stitches.
It’s a weight 4 yarn. Here are some suggested yarn substitutions for Yarn Bee Soft & Sleek:
