For those who don’t know anything about crochet, but want to play in this new hobby, run to watch this video that teaches step by step the basics of crochet and then venture into the following pillows (and whatever else you want!) 🙂

1. Cushion with central flower

In this first model, only one color is used, which makes it easier for those who are not very familiar with the crochet technique. The result is beautiful and the step by step is simple, just be patient to learn the sequence of stitches and tell everything right.

2. Delicate crochet pillow

This pillow is super romantic and delicate. Combining spaces and double crochets, the pattern is simple to make and the secret is not to forget any dots as the rows increase (the correct amounts are in the video). You can also adapt the cushion to your liking by changing the colors that go in the model details.

3. Cushion in maxi crochet without needle

This is a great idea for those who are starting to crochet or want a different and practical pillow. The maxi technique results in thicker stitches, being quicker to finish the pillow.

The yarn used is knitted, which brings personality to the piece and fills the stitches. And the most curious thing: the stitches are made using only the fingers, which facilitates the process and makes it even more handmade, as it is a work created only with the thread and your hand!

4. Pineapple Stitch Cushion

The Pineapple stitch is the result of the combination of chain stitches, double stitches and popcorn stitches (from a trick with 4 double stitches). Although it looks like a lot of work, you just need to be careful when counting the stitches and getting the location of each type of stitch right. In the end, you will be amazed at the beauty of this pillow!

5. Colored pillow with flowers

The idea here is perfect for those who are looking for a touch of joy for the room or the environment in which they want to place the pillow. The model combines different colors with white to give balance to the piece. With patience, anyone can produce this charming pillow!

6. Patchwork Cushion

This is an elaborate crochet pillow that has an amazing end result! The sides of the pillow have different patterns, but always keeping the geometric reference of the patchworks, so this model becomes 2 in 1. For those who are already more experienced in crochet or want to challenge themselves in this art, this model is a very interesting option!

7. Gisele Flower Cushion

The Gisele Flower combines different types of stitches, but it looks beautiful and is not difficult to make. The pillow starts with the central flower and is made all at once, that is, when the piece is finished, it will come out with the flower, the white extension of the pillow and the pink details of the corners. Change the color to renew the look of this model!

8. Flaky pillow

This pillow looks stunning, but it’s not as complicated to make as it looks. It is made up of two sides, a scaly one (above) and a simpler one (this video). After making the two sides separate, just “sew” them with low crochets.

Square: the square that helps you create more pillows

In addition to the traditional way of weaving a pillow, there are squares, which are basically small crochet squares. You can find numerous models of squares and, to create your cushion cover, just unite the squares, depending on the size of the chosen square.

The advantage is in producing a pillow made in small steps, without having to keep alternating types and amounts of stitches throughout the length of the piece. From square to square, you make your cover and you can even combine different square models. Check out some models to test:

1. Simple square

This is a more basic square and that’s why it goes well in different types of productions, in addition to the pillow. Many squares, like this one, combine different colors to create more interesting patterns, but nothing prevents you from making yours with just one thread color.

2. Basic square

Another super versatile and simple model, this square is an option for those who want to produce more neutral pieces or even perfect their crochet stitches before doing something bigger. In addition to teaching the square pattern, the video explains how to read the crochet charts, which can help you expand your creative possibilities. It’s worth watching!

3. Square ruffles

Despite being simple, this square enchants for its delicacy and elegance. The pattern is made in just three rows, which means it’s quick to make and affordable no matter your crochet level.

4. Square with hollow flower

Another great option for beginners to create elaborate looking pieces without much effort. The central flower is composed of a circle of high points and petals made from a sequence of chains and low points. The result is a very charming square!

5. Square flower 12 petals

The highlight of this square model is its colorful and imposing central flower. A trick to make the result even more sophisticated is to use mixed yarn. The finishing of this square (white part) also has an interesting work, but it’s all simple to do.

6. Square serenity

Despite being made with only one color, the popcorn dots bring a relief effect to the center of the square, which is pure charm! This is a small square, which makes it easier to make, but requires more squares to complete your cushion cover.

7. Square mosaic

The name derives from the alternating layers of colors that form the square. When combined, the mosaic squares produce a beautiful geometric effect! Change the colors according to your taste and have a pillow with your face!

8. Square daisy

This is also a small square, but it enchants for its softness. The piece takes the original colors of the daisy, but nothing prevents you from replacing them with other shades. The popcorn stitch is used on the petals and then just follow with a sequence of double stitches.

9. Summer Square

As the name implies, this square is quite striking and cheerful. It is basically formed by a flower and a small “margin” that guarantees the square shape of the piece. The stitches are simple, but you will be amazed at the end result!

10. Square flower weathervane

For those who want a flowery and elaborate pillow, but do not want a very complex step-by-step, the weathervane flower is a great choice. As in the previous model, the flower occupies most of the square, and you only need to weave an edge to finish.

11. Square flower Gabi

The flower that gives the square its name is simply beautiful, after all its petals are woven in high relief and catch the eye. Although sophisticated, it just takes patience and attention to step by step to make it.

12. Square flower Adelaide

Continuing with the squares with flowers in high relief, the Adelaide flower is a delicate model with 8 petals that also stands out in the square. Vary the colors to make it your own and create a pillow that perfectly matches your corner!

13. Celtic Intertwined Square

The result of this square is really surprising and can make a very beautiful pillow! Interlacing requires extra attention, but it is not a seven-headed animal, in the video you learn step by step.

14. Square rings

This model follows the same line as the previous one, but with a simpler interlacing. Two double crochet loops intertwine in the center of the square and then the edges of the square are filled with clusters of double crochets and chain gaps. Again, the result is elaborate, but you don’t need to be an expert in crochet to be able to make this square.
