Crochet this beautiful Anthropologie-inspired crochet cushion by guest designer Nihal Salem from Topknotch Crochet. I love Nihal’s modern and minimalist aesthetic, so I’m thrilled to have this free pattern on the blog!

A note from the designer: Nihal
“I have always had a minimalist style bedroom that has few colours and/or textures and I loved it. However as human beings our preferences change RIGHT? So I decided to makeover my room and add a pop of colour and some texture. What is a better way to do this than crochet and pillows?“

Make sure to keep the count of 55 stitches per row through out this pattern
Ch 1 does NOT count as a st throughout this pattern
Pictured is one pillow with two different faces. But you can simply make one face of your choice whether its the solid colour or the multi-coloured one and simply make a plain back. (see the back section below)
Crochet Cushion
Terms & Abbreviations
Chain (ch): Yarn over, pull through one loop on hook
Single Crochet (sc): Insert hook into stitch, yarn over, pull through two loops (2 loops on hook), yarn over, pull through both loops.
Bobble Stitch (bo): Yarn over, insert hook into the next stitch and pull up a loop. Yarn over, pull through two loops as if you are doing the first part of a double crochet (DC) (2 loops on the hook); repeat it until you have 5 HDC on your hook and 1 initial loop (total 6 loops on the hook); yarn over and pull through all 6 loops (1 loop on the hook – pull pretty tight, so your bobble really pops up)
Mini Bobble Stitch (mini bo): Yarn over, insert your hook into the next stitch, pull yarn through two loops as if you are doing the first part of a double crochet (DC) (2 loops on the hook); repeat one more time so that you have 2 HDC on your hook and 1 initial loop (total 3 loops on the hook); yarn over and pull through all 3 loops.

The BO stitch description is cut short or wrong fyi but other than that (I’m a bobble stitch fanatic so I got it) I’m so excited to get this done and I’m only on row 10 it’s such and amazing design
Gosh, I’m really having a hard time finding a pillow form 12×27(or anything close) in USA. Anyone have any tips? Also the question about row 76 wasn’t answered. Is it the same as 75? Or?
Hi Barbara am nihal the designer of the pattern it is just a typo so instead of row 77 it should be row 76 and instead of row 78-79 it should be row 77-79 sorry for any inconvenience! I sent a notice to the website admin and it will be corrected as soon as possible!
Thanks for the free patterns ! Will be making the long pillow first – the form = sew a case and use poly fil to get the size you need , simple. Love your creations .

What happened to row 76?

I too cannot find a 12×27 insert. Closest I could come was a 12×24 in Amazon.ca. Probably going to have to make my own.

I just love this design so much! I’m thinking about turning this pillow design into a blanket. I can already picture it
I’m still a newbie to crochet and loving it. Would it be the same using dk wool for this? Still struggling to understand different types and ply’s.
What size pillow insert did you use? Lovely pattern!
In row 42 is the final 1 BO a mistake? It adds up to 56 stitches with that in the row.

Hi!
I love the look of this! If I wanted to make a longer version do I just double the stitches?
Thanks,
I have a 12×22 pillow form. So how do I change the pattern to fit that? I love the pattern by the way!
