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.

The most important thing: 1 square is 1 sc!
Fasten off yarn and weave in ends.

Then place FRONT and BACK BOTTOM together with right sides facing and join 3 sides around with a mattress stitch (or your favourite method).
- Sew 1 button beneath each button hole on BACK BOTTOM part.

Hi! Thank you so much. Your version of Dahlia Pillow is so beautiful.
Thank you for sharing. You are so talented designer, Love your patterns!
I love the pattern! Want to make this for in my new bedroom in my own colours. Can I use an other yarn than Drops Paris if it’s the same yarn weight?
Of course! But better check the gauge before starting the pattern.
