Choose Your Mood Crochet Pillow Pattern

When we finally got the Lionbrand Go For Faux yarn available up here in Canada, I knew I wanted to make something cozy for my home. So I bought as much as I could when it was on sale and made myself the softest crochet pillow ever for my favourite crochet chair.

This crochet pillow is two sided so you can switch it around depending on your mood! If I’m being honest, mine is usually on the furry side because it is just sooo soft!

To make this crochet pillow I used two and a half skeins of Lionbrand Go For Faux yarn in the colorway Silver Tipped Navy, and approximately 250g Bernat Softee Chunky yarn. I used an old skein I had leftover from another project so I’m not sure what colorway I used.

I found the Go For Faux yarn to be a little bit complicated to work with because you can’t see your stitches. You have to feel for your stitches, so make sure you count as you go.

Pin this for later!

Do not tie off Go for Faux yarn, you will use this to stitch the pillow closed.

Lay your two pieces of fabric on top of each other so that all sides line up.
