This is my new Crochet Puff Stitch, Granny Square, Pillow. I wanted to make into a pillow because of how soft the stitch is. All those Puff stitches create a nice cushion.The Puff Stitch Video can be found HERE. The video is 1 color only.
There are 2 different sides. I wanted to do something different. I have yardage for each side because I used different weight yarn.
15 inches is the pillow size.
Side 1: Solid Cream Color (Lionbrand Baby Soft - 1 pound) (thin worsted weight).
All 13 Rows = 209 yards of Thin worsted yarn
**************************************************
Side 2: Solid colored - Yarn: Caron 1 pound (Deep Violet, Lilac, Cream, Sky Blue)
If
you were to do a solid colored granny square with Worsted Weight Yarn it would be 121
yards.

the beginning chain 3. (24 Puff stitches)
Repeat
in the same manner as many rows as you need on your square
FINISHING:
One
thing I want to say is that I usually make the granny squares ¼ inch
less then the size of the pillow so it's taut. If you make the
squares to big the pillow form may be loose inside the granny
squares.
Take
the first granny square and lay it across the pillow form then take
safety pins and attach the corners of the granny sq. through the
corners of the pillow form.
Take the 2nd Granny square and lay it on the pillow form. Get the safety pin through the 4 corners of that square as well.
Then, I started doing a single crochet through both sides. Do a single
crochet in each side. On the corners, I did 5 single crochets. Just do
as many as you think needs to be done. I used an H size hook.
Take the 2nd Granny square and lay it on the pillow form. Get the safety pin through the 4 corners of that square as well.
You
can do the whip stitch with a yarn needle if you want to.
