C2C Window Pane Throw Pillow – Free Crochet Pattern

Free crochet pattern for how to crochet the C2C Window Pane Throw Pillow with 3 sizes available! Make several of the top square and attach together to make a matching throw blanket!

The actual square for this throw pillow was inspired by a quilt I saw called Prismatic – you can see a picture of my inspiration in my C2C Window Pane Square post.

I am a sucker for geometric patterns, so I turned to corner to corner (C2C), and created my own version with intentions of turning it into a throw pillow to match my Spring bedding, which you see in the title photo.

I have a simple pattern worked in three throw pillow suitable sizes. You could also use this square to work up a matching afghan.

The reason there are only 3 sizes, is because the multiple for my chosen pattern is 6 boxes + 1 box. If you need a different size, you can work up a modified chart with partial triangles (I wanted full triangles only), and/or you can try making the corner to corner in half double crochets instead.

The 14″ pillow requires 375 yards – 95 yards each of green and blue, and 190 yards of gray. I have not tested the larger sizes, though I am estimating:

• 22″: 190 yards each of the two accent colors, and 380 yards of the main color.
• 27″: 280 yards each of the two accent colors, and 560 yards of the main color.

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

Time Spent:

8-9 hours for the 14″ size.

Measurements:

14″ (22″, 27″) Square

Gauge:

5 Boxes = 4.25″ Wide by 4.13″ Tall

Abbreviations (US Terms):

• C2C – Corner to Corner (Photo Tutorial for DC Boxes)
• DC – Double Crochet (Photo Tutorial)
• SC – Single Crochet (Photo Tutorial)

Pattern Notes:

Pillow grows from the bottom right 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 22″ and 27″ shown in parenthesis.

Because this pillow was made for my home, I didn’t worry about carrying my yarn along the backside of my work. By doing this, I didn’t have to fasten off as much, which in turn meant less ends to weave in later. If you do this, keep in mind how tight your tension is because I didn’t, and with this square, it lacked a bit of stretch, and turned out a tiny bit smaller than other similar squares I’ve made. Though this was an easy way to get a project like this done, I think next time I will just fasten off.

I worked my original 14″ size in the colors given in the materials section and noted in the written pattern, but with the other pattern sizes, I am using the corresponding colors to those graphs. Replace the colors as needed with your own combo.

How to Assemble C2C Window Pane Throw Pillow:

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, either pin in place, and just carefully flip over so the pillow front piece is facing you.

Working through both layers, insert hook into any single crochet – I did so at the top right, after the corner.

Working through both layers: Chain 1. (SC into the SC, 2 SC into the next chain space) across…

When you get to the overlapped part, you will continue working in the same pattern, but through all three layers.

Continue in the same manner as the last two steps all the way around. When back to the beginning, slip stitch join to the 1st SC, and fasten off, then weave in final ends.
