Welcome to our crochet corner, where creativity meets comfort! Dive into the world of crochet with our Easy Plaid Pillow Crochet Pattern. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or a beginner, this pattern is perfect for adding a cozy touch to your home decor. Let’s get started on your crafting journey!
Plaid patterns, formed by the convergence of multiple shades, create a checkered appearance when crocheted. They are commonly used in making shawls, pillows, blankets, scarves, bags, as well as plain-style cardigans, sweaters, and blouses. They can be easily incorporated into crochet projects.
Materials:
- 1 of each skein of Yellow , light Gray, dark gray , white yarn.
- 3 mm crochet hook
Instructions:
The following instructions are for making a pillow with dimensions of 40×30. Adjust the number of chains and rows if you want to make a different size.
- The yarn consists of 6 colors. Therefore, chain enough stitches for each color to be repeated twice.
*It results in 112 chains.
*In each row, ascend by chaining 2 stitches, excluding the chains made with colors.
- In the first row, without paying attention to the chain colors;
*All single crochets progress as 1 chain space, 1 skip.

NOTE: In the even-numbered rows on the outer side of the pillow (2, 4, 6, 8..), for example; if there are 3 whites, in the next even row, whites decrease to 2, and in the next even row after that, they decrease to 1. After dropping to 1, they increase to 2 in the next even-numbered rows, and then to 3.
This formula continues until the end of the crochet.
The colors continuously shift diagonally.
More explanations :
- We start by making the foundation chain. To do this, start by chaining 112 stitches. Each color in your yarn will be repeated twice in the pattern.
- In the first row, we’ll create a foundation row without worrying about the colors. Work a single crochet into the second chain from the hook, and continue single crocheting across the row. Remember to chain 2 at the end of the row and turn your work.
- Now, we’ll start incorporating the colors to create the plaid pattern. Follow the color sequence provided in the instructions. For example, work 5 single crochets with the light gray yarn, followed by 6 single crochets with the dark gray yarn, and so on. Remember to chain 2 and turn your work at the end of each row.
- Continue working rows, alternating between colors according to the pattern provided. Remember to chain 2 and turn your work at the end of each row.
- As you progress, you’ll notice the plaid pattern emerging! Keep following the color sequence and working rows until your pillow reaches the desired size.
- Once you’ve completed all the rows, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends.
- Finally, fold your crocheted piece in half with the right sides together and use a yarn needle and matching yarn to sew the side seams together, leaving an opening for stuffing. Stuff your pillow with fiberfill or a pillow form, then sew the remaining opening closed.
Enjoy your plaid pillow on beautiful days.
