Crochet Pillows & More

We have some house renovations going on which leaves me with little time and my shop a tied up. So lately I've been working on a few crochet projects in my spare time with one exception. Mainly some pillows to decorate what will eventually be our newly updated living room and master bedroom.

Pomom Pillow - I borrow this idea from Lion Brand's Pompom Rug pattern.

Simple buy some latch hook canvas {found at craft stores}, make a TON of pompoms {I'd recommend investing in a pompom maker} and you're ready to go!

Tip: Run a lint roller over the pillow of few times before using. All the ends from the pompoms can leave a lot of fuzz.

Cable Pillow - I stumbled across this free pattern at Yarn Plaza.

For Christmas we received a new Cali King bed so new pillows are in order! This guy looks kind of lonely there by himself.

I also made one in cream and khaki for our living room {pillow in back}

For the pillow in front I learned a new stitch called Tunisian crochet stitch. It requires a different hook but I found this one on Amazon for a good price. The end result is a stitch that looks like a knit.

Market Bag - my sister requested a few market bags and I thought it would be the perfect way to use up some leftover yarn from other projects. Red Heart has a free pattern for this bag here. There are several patterns out there though.

Bloopers: Of course Matilda has to get into every shot and inspect my work!

Enjoy! And look for more crochet projects coming soon. I'm working on my own argyle pattern!!!
