Hi friends!

I am a huge fan of crochet cables and today I would like to show you my new crochet design. Well.. maybe not that new because the first Cable Diamond Pillow I made a year ago but required some improvements and now can finally share with you my new free crochet pattern. It was such a pleasure to crochet it up.

You can find the full, free pattern at the bottom of this blog post.

I was inspired by the look of knitted cables seen in many sweaters or home items. Crochet cables are used to achieve this beautiful intertwined design and the pattern of Cable Diamond Pillow is giving a modern twist to this traditional cable texture. It turned out so stunning and contemporary. Don’t this combination of crochet cables look gorgeous?

This crochet pillow pattern is the ideal way of injecting color into your living space. Use your cables experience, pick a shade of yarn to match your color scheme and  make your own home decor.

I am so pleased I learned how to crochet cables as they are simply incredible!  It was so much fun watching the cables build up and I hope this inspires you to try the Cable Diamond Pillow !

The pattern may look a bit complicated but I have for you a written instruction and a chart.

Happy crocheting!

Notes:

• Pillow cover is worked in 3 separate pieces: FRONT, BACK TOP and BACK BOTTOM. They are seamed together with a running stitch.
• This crochet cushion cover has four buttons to secure the envelope closure which allows for easy removal for laundering.
• All even rows are single crochet rows and worked in indicated stitches 1 row below.
• All FPdc(s) and FPtr(s) are worked in indicated stitches 2 rows below.
• The number of post stitches is always the same as the number of skipped st(s) so finally the stitch count is the same (82) in every row.

FINISHING

1. Block all the parts of your pillow to give them shape.
2. Sew all parts together. Place all three pieces (FRONT, BACK BOTTOM, BACK TOP) on top of each other right sides facing. The BACK TOP (with buttonholes) should be in the centre. Mark corners and using a running stitch sew all pieces around. Next, turn inside out and sew one button beneath each buttonhole on BACK BOTTOM piece. Lastly, insert pillow pad.
