How to Crochet a Unique Pillow Cover
To crochet your own pillow cover, you’ll need some basic materials and a few different stitches. Choose a soft yarn that complements your room’s color scheme and follow a pattern that suits your style, whether you prefer modern geometric designs or classic lacework.
Start with a chain that matches the width of your pillow insert. For example, chain 40 for a 16″ pillow.
Row 1:
Dc in the 4th chain from the hook and in each chain across. Turn your work.
Row 2:
Ch 3, dc in each stitch across. Repeat this row until your panel reaches the desired length of your pillow.
Textured Pattern (Optional):
To create a textured design, alternate rows of sc and dc, or try a popcorn stitch pattern for extra texture. Continue until the panel covers the front of the pillow.
Back Panel
Base Chain:
Create a chain equal to the width of your pillow insert.
Rows 1-2:
Sc in each chain across for two rows to create a solid edge.
Remaining Rows:
Continue with dc rows until the panel matches the size of your front panel.
Assembly
Place the front and back panels together, right sides facing.
Sc or sl st around three sides of the pillow cover, leaving one side open to insert the pillow.
Insert the pillow, then crochet or sew the last side shut, or add buttons for easy removal.
Your crochet pillow cover is now complete, offering a chic and cozy addition to your home!
Note: Here is a pattern suggestion for you to create your own pattern. The end result may vary.
