Lighthouse Crochet Pillow

When I shared the patterns for my Farmhouse Nautical Pillows a few months ago, a sweet reader asked if I would create a lighthouse crochet pillow. Well, ask and you shall receive! But wait….you are probably thinking, why on earth does this pillow not match? I did take some creative license and worked my Lighthouse Crochet Pillow up in a new color scheme, but do not sweat it. Below I have shared the substitutions you should make if you would like to make your pillow match the Farmhouse Nautical Pillow Set. Or, you may wish to branch out into a new color scheme as I have!

As usual, I used my favorite super bulky yarn for this project so it works up fast! Throw pillows are one of my favorite items to make because they are easy, inexpensive, and can really freshen up your home decor. Plus, it is pretty cool when someone asks where you bought something and you are able to say you made it yourself.☺

I hope you enjoy!

Each square on the graph represents 1 sc. Work the odd rows by reading the graph from right-to-left, the even rows by reading the graph from left-to-right, and so forth. Change colors as indicated by the graph. Any color not in use will be dropped and picked back up when needed. Make sure you always drop the yarn to the back side (wrong side) of the panel. When you have completed the pattern on the graph, fasten off and weave in all ends.

To attach the front and back panels:

With right sides facing out, line up the front and back panels. Attach New York White to any corner and work a round of sc through both layers, around three of the edges, working a [sc, ch 1, sc] into each corner. Insert pillow form. Continue working sc until you have worked around the entire perimeter of the pillow, sl st to beginning and fasten off. Weave in ends.
