This crocheted Dahlia decoration for pillow cover consists of 9 square motifs made in Overlay crochet technique. If you use other colour palette for this pattern, your pillow cover will look completely different, and unique.

Many Popcorn stitches used in this pattern give the whole design nice volume and structure.

This square motif can be also used for blankets, bags or just as an appliqué for clothes, curtains and so on.

The motif is very thick as it has two layers due to large amount of overlay stitches. So if you decide to crochet a double sided pillow cover – you will not even have to buy or sew a fabric pillow case.

Crochet level: Intermediate (front post stitches are used in this pattern), though an “adventurous” beginner can handle it!

The size of finished motif depends on the yarn and hook you use. My motif is approx. 10 cm (4 inches) large. Gauge is not very important for this pattern but the motif should stay flat.

Materials: yarn in five colors. I used yarn “Superlana Klasik” by Alize. (100g/3.53 oz., 281 m/307 yds.), crochet hook 2.75 mm (C) or the size that will give an acceptable gauge, scissors and Tapestry needle to weave the ends, ready pillow cover.

There are two copies of the pattern offered to download: one is very detailed with many pictures, and second copy is printer friendly (with written instructions only and no pictures).
