Free Crochet Pillow Patterns FAQs

What crochet ctitch is best for pillow patterns?

The best stitch depends on what kind of look you would like for your final cushion. Denser stitches like single crochet (sc) or double crochet (dc) mean that there are fewer holes for the insert underneath to show through. If you are a beginner, choose simple stitches.

What is the best yarn to crochet pillows?

The best yarns for crochet pillow-making are those that don’t pill. You don’t want to put the work into making your pillow only to have it become pilled after using it just a few times. Cotton normally wears better than acrylic or wool yarns. The thicker the yarn you use, the faster your crochet pillow will make up. Consider looking for patterns where you can substitute thicker yarns such as bulky or extra bulky.

What size pillow insert should I use?

Most designers recommend using an insert that matches the finished cover size or is 1–2 inches larger for a fuller-looking pillow.

How do I stop my crochet pillow from looking floppy?

Use the correct-sized pillow insert and crochet with consistent tension so the cover fits snugly without stretching.

Can crochet pillow covers be machine washed?

That depends on the yarn used. Cotton yarn is generally machine washable, while wool and specialty fibers may require hand washing. Always check the yarn label and the pattern recommendations.
