Danielle Pillow Crochet Pattern

The Danielle Pillow Cover crochet pattern is one of my favorites. It’s a fast, easy pattern that uses basic stitches in a fun way that creates LOADS of texture! I love that it fits in with almost any decor, and uses bulky yarn so it works up quickly!

For the pillow pictured above, I used Loops and Threads Woolzee which is a #6 weight super bulky yarn. This yarn did fuzz up when on my couch. I wouldn’t recommend it for a place that gets a ton of use. I would probably use something similar to Red Heart Yarn Sweet Home, or a similar polyester yarn. When I moved it to my bed there were no issues since it was only there to look pretty and wasn’t actually used.

For the pink striped Danielle Pillow I used Red Heart Yarn Soft Essentials Stripes in the colorway Pixie Stripe. I loved the way the striping worked up, but felt that the yarn was too thin at this gauge. If you do use a #5 yarn instead of a #6, you may want to tighten up your stitches with a smaller hook and adjust your starting chain accordingly.

With Right Side facing up, fold the Button Hole Band half way up the Pillow Cover. Fold the Button Band half way up so that it overlaps the Button Hole Band. See the photo tutorial on Page 3 to see where to fold. Using a tapestry needle and yarn, sew up the sides the entire way. Turn the Cover Right Side out. Attach all 4 buttons, evenly spaced along the Button Band so that they line up evenly with the Button Holes.
