C2C Cozy Throw Pillow – Free Crochet Pattern

This is a free crochet pattern for how to crochet a cozy C2C envelope style throw pillow with 7 sizes available.

While searching through Pinterest for Winter decorating ideas, I came across a gorgeous living room – Cozy Winter Living Room Decor from Wilshire Collections. Right behind her adorable golden retriever sat a throw pillow with the simple word “cozy” on it, and the pillow edge reminded me of a pom pom trim. I fell in love, and knew I wanted to have one of those throw pillows for my home.

I turned to one of my favorite stitch patterns – corner to corner (C2C), picked up a gray pom pom trim from the sewing aisle, and got to work on my envelope style throw pillow. Instructions included for 7 sizes!

This throw pillow is part of the 2020 Make it for Me Event hosted by Elk Studio. If you aren’t familiar with it, basically it’s a event catered to designing something for ourselves to wear or display, and enjoy.

For this event last year, I shared my Basic C2C Throw Pillow (in 8 sizes). And the year before, I shared my Turqua Spring Wreath.

Materials:

• Worsted Weight Yarn – I used Red Heart’s Super Saver in White and Grey Heather
• H8/5mm Crochet Hook
• Tapestry Needle for Weaving in Ends
• 1″ Wide (or Less) Gray Pom Pom Trim – Mine came from the Home Decor section at Hobby Lobby (where the outdoor fabric, and curtain items are) – You will need at least 1.5 (2, 2, 2.5, 2.5, 3, 4) Yards, but I recommend getting a little extra just in case! For the 16″ Pillow, I bought 2 Yards, and had 14″ leftover.
• Hot Glue or Sewing Needle and Thread (for Pom Pom Trim)
• Optional, Sewing Pins

Material Notes:

Yarn Alternatives: Caron’s One Pound, Bernat’s Super Value.

Really, you can use any yarn in your stash with respective crochet hook, and just make the square size to your pillow measurements, but I like Red Heart’s Super Saver for my home projects because it’s really durable, and machine washes well.

My two sample pillows were worked to fit 14″ and 16″ pillow forms, and respectively, I used 375 yards (202 grams), and 460 yards (248 grams).

Measurements:

My sample is worked to 16″ – and will stretch to fit a pillow form one inch bigger, but I have got sizes from 14″ through 27″ below to fit a square pillow form.

Gauge:

5 Boxes = 4.25″ Wide by 4.13″ Tall

Abbreviations (US Terms):

• DC – Double Crochet (Photo Tutorial)
• SC – Single Crochet (Photo Tutorial)
• HDC – Half Double Crochet
• C2C – Corner to Corner

Pattern Notes:

Pillow grows from the bottom corner upward.

This pattern is written with colors and boxes only. If you would like more details on how to work the corner to corner technique, and the basic shape of this washcloth – visit my Basic C2C Throw Pillow pattern, and follow the instructions for the respective size.

Beginning chain 2 counts as a double crochet.

A box is comprised of four double crochet’s.  

The “space under the same chain joined to” is defined as the space between the last two double crochets of the previous rows box.

Working the final double crochet into the top of the chain from the previous row helps to keep the edge more even. After completing the first box, you may also need to lightly tug on it to keep it even as well.

Instructions for smallest size – 14″ shown with 16, 18, 20, 22, 24 and 27 shown in parenthesis.

In Border, chain 1 does not count as a stitch, and join to the first stitch.

Because this pillow was made for my home, I didn’t worry about carrying my yarn along the backside of my work (you can see this especially in the letter “O” where the white strands are coming across). By doing this, I didn’t have to fasten off as much, which in turn meant less ends to weave in later.

R43 – 65: Decrease in White, then Proceed to Border.

Border:

Chain 1. SC into the space just to the right, in between two boxes, (chain 2, SC into the next space in between boxes) around, working a single SC into each corner. When back around, work final chain 2, and then join to the 1st SC, and fasten off.

Pillow Back:

To avoid being penalized by Google for duplicate information, please see my Basic C2C Throw Pillow, Free Crochet Pattern for the Pillow Back Bottom, and Top Pieces.

Assembly:

Lay the pillow front (biggest) piece down, wrong side facing up.

Lay the back bottom (smallest) piece down on top of the front with right side facing up. The bottom edges of both pieces should be aligned.

Lay the back top piece down on top of the front with right side facing up. The top edges of both pieces should be aligned, and it should overlap the back bottom piece.

Now, I recommend pinning the layers in place here as you will be crocheting through both layers (and through three layers where the layers overlap). Carefully flip over so the pillow front piece is facing you.

Pom Pom Trim:

Starting in any corner single crochet, attach yarn (through both layers).

Sandwich the end of the pom pom trim between the two layers, pulling the end so the first pom pom is right up against where you’ve just joined your yarn.

Chain 1, yarn over, insert hook into the same stitch that you just joined to, working underneath the trim, and complete a HDC.

You will work two HDC’s per chain space, one HDC per single crochet, and a (HDC, chain 1, HDC) in each corner.

Work in pattern up to a pom pom…

…then work the next stitch just to the left of the pom pom, catching it in between.

The pom pom trim will want to curl on you. Have patience, keep sandwiching it in place in between the two layers, and work over it uncurled so the edge don’t bulge.

Once you are back to the starting point, BEFORE FINISHING, trim the pom pom trim so it overlaps with the beginning tail you left out, and then either sew or hot glue the ends together. Then finish your stitches, and join to the first half double crochet.
