The Retro Throw Pillow crochet pattern by Nina Hagerty will take you on a nostalgic journey to the ’60s. These cushions are shaped like flowers and will work wonderfully as decorative pieces for your living room, featuring a hint of vintage flair. Their fun and super cute look makes them perfect for the kids’ room, too!
Choosing Yarn and Hook for the Best Shape
Use super bulky yarn for this pillow crochet pattern and you will see how quickly this project works up. For the samples seen in the photos, the designer used Bernat Blanket, a plush chenille yarn with an ultra-soft texture. I can already tell you won’t want to stop hugging a pillow made from this yarn.
To obtain the right tension and gauge, be sure to pair it with a 10 mm crochet hook.
How the Flower Design Is Made
This flower pillow crochet pattern is worked in the round using basic stitches like single crochets and increases. First, you will form a simple round-shaped ball and then fill it with some stuffing. After stitching it up closed, sew the remaining tail around the outside to shape the petals and get that fantastic flower shape for your cushion.
Color Ideas for a Retro Statement
The Retro Throw Pillow looks fabulous in bright, lively colors like the ones proposed by the designer. However, if you feel like it, you can use softer shades like classic grey, neutral beige, or elegant cream that will fit easily into every modern interior.
