What you need to make this project

Materials: Fairfield Crafter’s Choice 12” x 12” Pillow.; Red Heart Super Saver yarn (100% acrylic, 7 oz/198 g/364 yd/333 m) – 1 skein ea in 387 Soft Navy (CA) and 256 Carrot (CB), or approximately 166 yd (152 m) in ea of 2 colors in any medium weight yarn.

Supplies: US H-8/5 mm crochet hook, or size needed to obtain gauge.; Yarn needle.

Instructions

Step One

The L Sqaure Pillow uses a simple variation on the classic crochet granny square. It uses basic crochet stitches (chain, double crochet, single crochet, and slip stitch), working in rounds, increasing, and joining pieces (with a link to a photo tutorial).

Finished Size

12” (30.5 cm) square.

Gauge

Square in pattern = 4” (10 cm) square. Exact gauge is not critical for this project.

Step Two

For this project, you’ll start by crocheting the L Square. You’ll make 11 that start with Color A…

and 10 that start with Color B.

Step Three

Once you have all of your squares ready, you can start to assemble them using a slip stitch seam on the wrong side. Once your pillow is seamed together, just turn it right side out and slide in your Crafter’s Choice® 12″ x 12″ Pillow.
