Don’t hesitate for a moment and start crocheting your Dahlia pillow today!
Is the Dahlia Pillow Pattern Suitable for Beginners?
This crochet flower pillow pattern will suit intermediate crafters and everyone familiar with tapestry crochet basics. Its vibrant, intricate pattern involves working with several colors within the same row, which requires some skill and practice.
The designer offers both a helpful colorwork chart and clear written instructions, making this project as accessible as possible for anyone willing to give it a go.
Recommended Yarn and Hook Choices
For this pillow project, you can use any medium-weight yarn. The designer suggests using 100% cotton fibers, like Garnstudio DROPS Paris, so that you can easily clean your pillow cover in your washing machine. It’s also very soft to the touch and boasts good stitch definition. You can follow the modern color scheme of mustard and ecru or go for your favourite shade selection.
Pair your medium-weight yarn with a 5 mm crochet hook to obtain the required gauge.
How the Dahlia Pillow is Constructed
You make this crochet pillow cover in three separate parts that need to be sewn together in the end. The front is a one square-shaped panel, while the back features two pieces – a large bottom section and a smaller top section that will work as a buttoned opening.
Such a design keeps things looking neat and sleek and makes it very easy to take out or put in the pillow pad.
