I was browsing home goods, and looking for throw pillows for the Summer daybed. I didn’t find exactly what I was looking for, and I really wasn’t too happy with the price for throw pillows either. I had a bit of extra fabric on hand, and I decided to make some of my own.

I didn’t have a pattern for a round cushion, so I just kept crocheting around, and around until I liked size and the look of it.

I made two rounds, and crocheted the rounds together. I left a bit of space to slip in fabric to stuff.

I also made one in Red.

I made a simple round pillow form out of re-purposed  fabric. I slipped the form into the crocheted cover, and stuffed it. Then a simple whip stitch to close the form, and a little bit more crochet around the edge to finish off the pillow.

I think my second try turned out a little bit neater than the first attempt.

They turned out adorable, and fit the bed perfectly!

I started a yellow one last night for Agnes, and Dylan has requested a green one as well. I think I’ll make a few more for our bedroom too. Luckily they are quick to crochet. Each round took me about an evening to make. I’m starting to love quick and easy projects. This one saved some money on the decorating budget too.
