The Insipration
I’m constantly inspired by modern rustic decor. It’s just so simple and chic. This month, I wanted to create something that could easily fit into any decor without overwhelmingly looking too ‘crocheted’
I love crochet, don’t get me wrong, but often the pieces don’t feel like they fit into a modern rustic home, this pillow changes that!
I decided to create a circular crochet pillow in a simple stitch and a shell border. It would be chic enough to fit into my home but not so much that it screams handmade.
I wanted to go with a yarn that was soft. Not just soft after you wash it but soft right from the skein. I chose Red Heart Yarns Hygge.
It comes in large enough skeins to need just a couple for a single pillow and the colors are beautiful. You can see the full line on the JOANN website here.
The Design
The pillow is quick to stitch and uses just three basic stitches.
Ch – Chain
Sc – Single Crochet
Dc – Double Crochet
That’s it. The perfect pillow for beginners and well seasoned crocheters alike! You just need to know how to work in the round! How cool is that?
