This is a fun crochet pillow (and placemat!!) project that is a great way to decorate your child’s room. This pattern from Heidi Yates can be modified to be suitable for those little explorers who mostly use their mouths to experience the world. The project is easy to follow and works up quickly!
What You Will Need
I know its charming look makes you want to start crocheting this project already, but let’s take a look at the material list first:
- worsted weight yarn, e.g., Red Heart Super Saver
- crochet hooks in sizes: 5.0 mm (H), 5.5 mm (I), or 6.0 mm (J)
- yarn needle, sewing needle, and thread
- small buttons for eyes (optional)
- stuffing for the pillow
Note: When crocheting the flower pillow, you will need twice as much yarn as for the placemat because you will be making two daisy panels.
Stitches You Should Know
This pillow/placemat project requires just basic skills. If you know how to read crochet patterns, work in the round, and do simple stitches, you’ll handle it with no problem.
The designer provides clear row-by-row written instructions for making a daisy-shaped placemat or pillow. The placemat is made with one flat flower panel, while the pillow is constructed from two panels stitched together and stuffed.
Customize Your Crochet Daisy Set
You can personalize your pillow and placemat in any way you want. Make it in your kid’s favorite colors or play with different shades to match the room decor.
You can also use different embellishments to create the flower face – experiment with button sizes for eyes and nose, or change the smile expression.
How Big Is the Finished Placemat?
There are two sizes available for making placemats and pillows. The measurements of the finished flat daisy flower are: 15” across for the regular size and 18” across for the large size.
You will need a 5.5 mm crochet hook for the smaller version and a 6 mm crochet hook for the larger one.
