Square Pillow

**Square Pillow Crochet Pattern** This fun crochet pattern is for making a pretty square motif. The motif can be used for many projects such as: blankets, bags, rugs and more. A project could be made of as many motifs as you like. You can crochet a blanket by joining small squares or a pillow cover from eight squares, as shown here, the possibilities are endless !! ********************************************* In the pattern you will learn how to crochet a basic shape of the motif, then you can pick a specific square or rectangle shape to crochet and plan your desired project. The pattern works well with 2 colours, but you can make it much more colourful if you like, one side of the pillow is made in six rainbow colours I used the motif to create a pretty square pillow cover, lovely for home decor. The pillow measures: 17.72 X 17.72 inches (45 X 45 cm). ********************************************* This is a really fun crochet pattern, using standard crochet stitches and the Tunisian top horizontal bar stitch, which is described in detail. This stitch is great to crochet; you will learn it in this pattern (if you don’t know it already) and could use it in future projects. ********************************************* The pattern includes 3 PDF files: 1. Detailed step by step photo tutorial for the pillow. 2. File without pictures for printing the pattern. 3. Photo tutorial explaining how to join new yarn without a slipknot. All are written in US English terms. It is a good idea to familiarize yourself with the pattern by following the photo tutorial first. The printable version is best used when you already know the pattern. Skill level: Intermediate. A basic knowledge of crochet techniques and stitches required. ********************************************* Materials: 1. Yarn: any yarn can be used for this motif, depending on your project. For the pillow shown here I used: Paintbox Yarns Simply DK, 100 gr/276 m/302 yard; any other brand of DK yarn can be used. The amount of yarn required for a pillow is detailed in the pattern. 2. Crochet hook: the crochet hook should be chosen according to your project. For the pillow cover I used: size 4mm (Metric) G/6 (US) crochet hook. In the pillow, maximum loops on hook are 32, a long Tunisian crochet hook is recommended. 3. Tapestry needle. 4. Scissors. 5. Stitch markers (recommended). 6. Square pillow, size: 17.72 X 17.72 inches (45 X 45 cm). 7. Buttons (optional). ********************************************* NOTE: Please do not copy and redistribute this pattern.
