Haylee Throw Pillow – Free Crochet Pattern

Time Spent:

I worked the 14″ size, and it took about 5 hours to complete.

Sizes Included:

12″ (14″, 16″, 18″, 20″, 22″, 24″, 27″)

Gauge:

11 HDC = 3″ Wide; 9 Rows = 3 1/8″ Tall

Abbreviations:

• HDC – Half Double Crochet
• SC – Single Crochet

Front Panel – Should be about the same size as your pillow:

Chain 47 (55, 63, 71, 79, 85, 93, 113), HDC into the 3rd chain (skipped 1st and 2nd chains count as a HDC), and into each chain across. [46 (54, 62, 70, 78, 84, 92, 112) HDC]

R2 – 34 (42, 47, 51, 57, 63, 69, 77): Chain 1, turn. HDC into the 1st HDC, and into each HDC across. [46 (54, 62, 70, 78, 84, 92, 112) HDC]

Fasten off.

Back Bottom Panel:

Chain 47 (55, 63, 71, 79, 85, 93, 113), HDC into the 3rd chain (skipped 1st and 2nd chains count as a HDC), and into each chain across. [46 (54, 62, 70, 78, 84, 92, 112) HDC]

R2 – 17 (19, 23, 26, 29, 32, 35, 39): Chain 1, turn. HDC into the 1st HDC, and into each HDC across. [46 (54, 62, 70, 78, 84, 92, 112) HDC]

Fasten off.

Back Top Panel:

Chain 47 (55, 63, 71, 79, 85, 93, 113), HDC into the 3rd chain (skipped 1st and 2nd chains count as a HDC), and into each chain across. [46 (54, 62, 70, 78, 84, 92, 112) HDC]

R2 – 29 (32, 35, 37, 40, 43, 46, 50): Chain 1, turn. HDC into the 1st HDC, and into each HDC across. [46 (54, 62, 70, 78, 84, 92, 112) HDC]

Fasten off. Weave in ends.

Assembly:

Turn front panel to the wrong side, and place the smaller back panel with the edge lining up with the bottom of the square – I like to have the foundation chain side on the top as it has more of a finished edge.

Then, add the other back panel piece lining the edge up with the top edge of the square – I like to have the foundation chain side on the bottom as it has more of a finished edge, which is visible along the opening.

At this point, you may want to use sewing pins to hold everything in place.

Carefully, turn the work over so the border is worked from the front side of the pillow (so the right side of the border stitches are worked on the side that is most visible).

Border:

With the front side of the pillow facing you, attach yarn in any stitch through both layers, and chain 1.

Evenly SC through all given layers (mostly two layers, but will be three layers in the center where the two back panels overlap), and work a “SC, chain 1, SC” in each corner. When worked evenly into the side of HDC stitches, it’s 3 SC per 2 rows. Once back to the beginning, slip stitch join to the 1st SC, and fasten off.

Weave in any remaining ends you have, and you’re ready to add in a pillow form.
