Hi!

In an easy and quick way you can add a bit decor and style to your living room or you can make it as a handmade housewarming gift. So many options for this pillow.

When crocheters talk about crochet techniques that scare them, the most common answers are colorwork.

But, once they have worked a few rows of the design, they are surprised by how simple intarsia crochet technique actually is!

Intarsia crochet is a crochet colorwork technique used to create patterns with multiple colors by working two (or more) colors of yarn in the same row. 

If you are unfamiliar with this crochet colorwork technique I would recommend you some practice before start this Dahlia Pillow intarsia free crochet pattern.

Please see my detailed beginner-friendly How to do Intarsia Crochet tutorial to see how it works.

This intarsia free crochet pillow pattern is worked in 3 separate pieces: FRONT, BACK TOP AND BACK BOTTOM. They are seamed together.

The pillow cover does have a buttoned opening on the back to take the pillow pad in or out.

The most important thing: 1 square is 1 sc!

Fasten off yarn and weave in ends.
