Add a pop of color to your home with the Swirly Squares Pillow! This fun design features a motif that starts as a swirl and then twists and turns itself into a square. The professionally tech-edited pattern includes both written and charted instructions in U.S. terms, plus a helpful video to guide you through the square.

Advanced beginner and intermediate crocheters will love watching the shapes come together—front and back—for a perfectly reversible, eye-catching pillow.

This design uses four colors of yarn, with the background color alternating between the front and back of the pillow.

Each sample was made in a different worsted-weight yarn. Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride Worsted is a heavier worsted-weight yarn and results in a 16” square pillow, while the slightly lighter-weight Berroco Lanas results in a 14” square pillow. Pattern instructions tell you how to determine the size pillow form you will need.
