Materials Needed
Cotton yarn (size 4 or 6) in two colors for the stripes
Crochet hook (3.5 mm or 4 mm)
Scissors
Tapestry needle for finishing
Pillow stuffing or a pre-made pillow insert
Finished Size
Approximately 16 x 16 inches (40 x 40 cm) — but you can easily adjust the size to fit your pillow insert.
Step-by-Step – Pillow Base
Foundation Chain:
Make 61 chains (or as many as needed for your desired pillow width).
Row 1:
Work 1 double crochet in each chain, starting from the 4th chain from the hook.
Next Rows:
Continue in double crochet, changing colors every 4 rows to create the striped pattern.
Repeat until the piece measures about 16 inches (40 cm) in height.
Back Piece:
Make another panel the same size (you can keep it solid or striped — your choice!).
Making the Bow
Crochet a long rectangle in double crochet, about 5 inches high and 24 inches long (12 x 60 cm).
Wrap the center with a small crochet strip or matching yarn to form the bow shape.
Sew the bow to the center of the front panel.
✨ Tip: Add a little stuffing inside the bow before closing it for a puffier look!
Assembly
Join the front and back panels with single crochet stitches all around.
Leave one side open to insert the pillow stuffing.
Close the opening with single crochets or sew it shut with a tapestry needle.
And that’s it! Your striped bow crochet pillow is finished — perfect for the living room, bedroom, or as a handmade gift.
Extra Tips
Try neutral colors like beige and white for an elegant look.
Or go bold with pink and lilac for something fun and modern!
