Rounds and Ridges Pillow

Categories: Decor, Pillow, Crochet

One of the latest trends in yarn crafts are self-striping cakes of yarn. Several brands have come out with there own versions, usually with 3-5 colors in each cake, long sections of each color. I decided to use one of those cakes of yarn for this project and the stripes create rounds of colors when crocheted in a circle. The pillow is made by working rounds of double crochet with some back post stitches to make ridges, like spokes, coming from the center of the pillow out. I used a 14″ pillow insert in the center and crocheted two circles around it. A reverse single crochet border finishes off the edge.

Instructions

  • round crochet pillow sides

Step One

You will make two identical sides to the pillow, a front and a back. I wanted the colors on each side to be different so that I could pick which one I liked the best and it would be sort of reversible. For that reason I worked one pulling yarn from the inside and one pulling yarn from the outside.

Make 2:

*beginning ch 2 does not count as a stitch

Round 1: in magic ring, ch 2, 12 dc, sl st to first dc (12 dc)

Round 2: ch 2, 2 dc in each stitch, sl st to first dc (24 dc)

  • reverse single crochet
  • crochet pillow cover

Step Two

Place 2 sides wrong sides together.

Single crochet around the outside working through both layers.

When you are about halfway around place the pillow insert inside and continue working around the pillow until completely enclosed.

Work one round of reverse single crochet all the way around the outside.

Finish off, cut yarn, weave in ends.
