Crochet pillow covers are a great way to add a personal touch to your home decor. Here are the steps to make a crochet pillow cover:Materials you'll need:
- Yarn (choose a color and weight that you like)
- Crochet hook (choose a hook size appropriate for the yarn weight you're using)
- Scissors
- Pillow insert
- Tapestry needle
- Measure the size of your pillow insert. This will determine the size of your crochet pillow cover.
- Chain the number of stitches needed for the width of your pillow cover. Make sure to add a few extra stitches to account for the height of the stitches.
- Double crochet into the third chain from the hook, and continue double crocheting into each chain stitch until the end of the row.
- Chain two and turn your work. Double crochet into each stitch across the row.
- Repeat step 4 until your crochet piece is the same width as your pillow insert.
- Fold your crochet piece in half with the right sides facing inwards.
- Slip stitch or single crochet the sides of the crochet piece together to create a seam. Leave one side open for inserting the pillow.
- Turn the pillow cover right side out.
- Insert the pillow into the cover.
- Slip stitch or single crochet the open side closed.
- Weave in any loose ends with a tapestry needle.
