FREE PATTERNS – 1776 Pillow & USA Stars Pillow

I always love to add some crochet home decor touches throughout my house, and I realized this year that I didn’t have much summer crochet decor! I quickly made these beginner friendly crochet patterns to help me get in the mood for the 4th of July.

To make these pillows, you will need-

MATERIALS

• US H/5.0 mm hook

• Worsted weight 4 yarn – I Love this Yarn

• 2 16”x16” pillow inserts

• Scissors

• Tapestry Needle

GAUGE

15 sc sts = 4”

18 rows = 4”

LEVEL

Experienced Beginner

NOTES

• The ch 1 does not count as a st.

• There are a charts to follow if you prefer to follow a chart rather than written instructions. You can purchase the 1776 pattern here & the USA Stars pattern here.

• You need to be familiar with how to change colors using the “yarn under technique”. If unsure how, see this video on tapestry crochet.

• You can carry the non-dominant color along when using the new color or you can make separate bobbins for each color. If carrying the color, gently tug the non-dominant color to minimize show-through and make sure to carry your non-dominant color on the WS.
