Welcome, craft enthusiasts, to another exciting edition of the Easy Crafts patterns blog! Today, we have a fabulous pattern that will add a touch of warmth and charm to your living space – the Bobble Stitch Pillow Covers. Whether you’re a seasoned crocheter or just starting out, this pattern is perfect for creating cozy and stylish pillow covers that will instantly elevate your home décor.
The star of this pattern is the bobble stitch, a delightful texture that adds dimension and visual interest to your crochet projects. If you’re new to the bobble stitch, don’t worry it’s quite simple! A bobble is created by working several partial double crochet stitches into the same stitch and then completing them all at once. This creates a raised, “bobbled” effect.
Materials (for two throw pillows):
- A size 7 (4.5 mm) Crochet Hook.
- 14 skeins Knit Picks Swish Bulky Weight Yarn in White.
- Scissors.
- Two 20” X 20” Pillow Forms.
- Tapestry/yarn needle to weave in ends (optional).
Measurements: Each rectangular panel measures 20”
Gauge: 13 stitches X 13 Rows = 4 inches in single crochet.
Abbreviations:
- CH: Chain Stitch.
- SC: Single Crochet.
- BS: Bobble Stitch: *Yarn over, insert hook into stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop; yarn over, pull through two loops. Repeat from * four more times (five times total). There will be 6 loops left on the hook. Yarn over and pull through remaining loops on the hook.
Pattern Notes: These pillow covers are worked as two identical panels from the bottom up and then seamed together.
When reading the pattern, note that the odd-numbered rows are the right side, and the even-numbered rows are the wrong side.
To simplify the pattern, the instructions have been abbreviated as follows:
- SC = work one single crochet into the next stitch.
- BS = work one bobble stitch into the next stitch.
- 32SC = work one SC into each of the next 32 stitches.
