Looking to add some handmade charm to your living space? The Autumn Granny Square crochet pattern Pillow by Nicky Jones is perfect for those who love vintage-inspired decor. Whether you’re crafting for fall or want a piece that radiates warmth all year round, it’s sure to become your favorite!
Gathering Your Supplies
This pattern works best with worsted weight yarn. The author recommends Hobbi’s Tea Time XL in Hibiscus or Lion Brand Fisherman’s Wool in Natural. If you have leftover yarn, this pillow also makes a fantastic stash-busting project!
For the Autumn Pillow project, you will need a 5.0 mm crochet hook so that the stitches come out neat and even.
How to Crochet Granny Square Pillow
This crochet pillow pattern is worked up with 25 sunburst granny squares. It uses basic crochet stitches, making it easy to follow even if you are just getting started with crochet. The pattern notes provide a link to a video tutorial from Nicky for those who need more guidance.
Once you have all the pieces ready, position your squares in a 5×5 grid to determine their placement. This step is fun because it allows you to play with the color placement of your choice. Use the slip stitch method to join these squares horizontally and vertically.
Next, work a single crochet border around for a clean edge. Fold your square panel like an envelope and seam the edges together to form the pillow cover.
Where to Display Your Crochet Pillow
The Autumn Pillow is a statement piece for every home. Think about placing it on an armchair in your living room for a cozy atmosphere or throwing it on the bed. It also makes an adorable accent on a wooden bench or part of your seasonal fall décor.
If you’re gifting it, your handmade pillow is sure to impress! The vintage-inspired design and warm, personalized touch make it a standout present for housewarmings, holidays, or just because.
