Granny square patterns are widely used in various crochet projects because they are simple and quick to make. Sometimes we join square motifs together, and other times we make them as a single piece. In this article, I will explain how to make a granny square pillow using the trendy crochet patterns of 2023. After reading this article, you will be able to create new and original designs. You will give a stylish touch to your garden and balcony furniture with these square pillows.
The crochet cushion pattern consists of two stages:
Stage 1: Square pattern
Stage 2: Joining the square motifs together with a needle
The square pillow pattern uses 4 different colors. The yarn brand used in this pattern is Alize Cotton Gold, and a 2.75 mm crochet hook is used. You can adapt the color combination to your liking.
Instructions for making the granny square pillow:
- Start by making a magic ring and work double crochets into it. This creates a round motif consisting of 3 rows.
- In the 4th row, transform this circle into a square. The square pattern starts to grow. This square will form both the front and back of the pillow.
Therefore, make a large square. It is recommended to measure your existing pillow to ensure the correct size. Once you reach the desired size, fold the square into an envelope shape. Sew two sides together, leaving one corner open to insert the pillow. Finally, sew a button to complete the crochet cushion.
