Crochet Pillows All Day

This collection of free crochet pillow patterns will help you speed up the cozy craft takeover. Soon, you’ll be like the pillow woman turning into her parents in the Progressive commercial.

But remember what I said about the haters? That poor woman had a couch full of cute pillows and Dr. Rick was like, “If you have nowhere to sit, you have too many.”

Nah bro, that’s not a thing. You can never have too many pillows. Especially crochet pillows!

Suck it, Dr. Rick

What Dr. Rick doesn’t realize is that you need extras because some pillows are for leaning/sleeping on and some are for hugging. It’s a rookie mistake that us crocheters would never make. We know you need at least three pillows per person for couch computing– one under each arm, and one on your lap to support the laptop.

Or is that just me? 😅

I love pillows. So much.

But don’t we all? Seriously — everyone needs a pillow! You, your dog, your mom, your mom’s dog… THE LIST GOES ON.

And since a basic pillow is just two squares sewn together, everyone (even beginners!) can crochet an easy pillow cover.
