Looking for inspiration for your Christmas decor? Look no further than this plaid crochet pillow project! When my creativity well ran dry, I turned to the internet and stumbled upon an old holiday meme that sparked my imagination. I knew I had to incorporate it into my design, even if it's a little cheeky. The result? A festive pillow cover with the words "Le Tits Now" spelled out against a plaid background. It may not be for everyone, but it always makes me giggle! Give this crochet pillow cover a try and add some playful fun to your holiday decor.

Christmas Pillow Crochet Pattern

Skill Level

Beginner-Intermediate

Size

Finished cover fits a 20x20" pillow

Materials

• Worsted weight (4) acrylic yarn such as Bernat Super Value in Cherry Red, Black, Burgundy, and Natural (for the letters)

• 4.00mm crochet hook

• Yarn needle

• Large buttons and needle and thread to sew them on

• Pillow 20"x20"

This holiday pillow was made using the corner to corner (C2C) crochet technique. In this technique, you're crocheting in a diagonal direction - from corner to corner - and using double crochet stitches throughout.

I used worsted weight (4) acrylic yarn and a size 4.00mm/G-6 hook to crochet this pillow cover but you can try making these with finer or thicker yarn for a smaller or bigger size square. Just be sure to use the appropriate size hook as well.

For the letters I used the crochet alphabet pattern on Moogly.

For the snowflakes I used the crochet pattern on Stone Gnome.

To make the pillow cover I followed the chart I created below making a rectangle that was made up of 60 3-dc clusters by 30 3-dc clusters. I folded the rectangle in half and adjusted it so there would be a flap on the back for the buttons and button holes.

I added two rows of single crochet in one of the short ends (30 3-dc clusters) and then made button holes by making chains big enough to fit around the buttons I used. Once I had the button holes done I sewed the buttons onto the pillow cover.

Before sewing the side seams on the pillow cover I wrapped it around the pillow insert so that I could test the placement of the letters and see what they would look like on the pillow itself since at this point I'd only seen the letters completely flat. I pinned the letters and sewed them on. Once that was done I sewed the side seams, added the pillow and I was done!

I am so in love with this pillow!
