you're a great teacher! i started knitting a pillow for my friend for her birthday but im a very slow knitter and realized i wouldn't have it done in time, this stitch saved my idea for the pillow because it looks similar to the knit stitch i was using. thanks!😊
O.k.enough practicing and dishcloths their is 3 months until Christmas. I want to make some homemade things this year. Need to get my projects together and get busy.
Wow. Only 3 months? Time to crank out some cool crochet! I'll be uploading a new Christmas headband ear warmer that is great for stocking stuffers or teacher gifts. Be sure you are subscribed so you don't miss it! Thanks so much for watching.
New sub here. Thank you for this well-taught pattern. I love all of the bright colors ( think of colors you'd see in Morocco) and I bought a beautiful Duvet and I'm using a very soft multi-colored yarn. I think this would be a nice addition to my bedroom. The pattern is fantastic! Thank you! Please keep filming and I wish you all the very best with your channel and in life. Have the best day!
Thank you so much for subscribing and for the kind words of encouragement. I'm so glad you like this design. I'm sure it will look beautiful in your colorful bedroom. Enjoy!
Hi. I love this pattern. I'm on the 2nd panel for my pillows. I'm doing them in Dusk for a variegated look. I'll be making 2 of this same pattern. Thank you for doing this tutorial.
@@CrazyCoolCrochet I made one and it came out beautiful. Now I want to make another one for a 26x26 pillow insert. The cover will be around 24x24, so can you please help me with how many chains and rows for that project?
@@acalyako Yay! I'm so happy you liked this. I might start with a chain of 95 for a 24x24 inch pillow cover. I haven't actually made that size, so be sure to double check the length of the foundation chain against your pillow.
This lady is amazing, I love the fashion show, Im looking to make a few of those projects, and I love this pattern, I'll be adding tassels suggested by the reviewer below, thank you for sharing your wonderful crochet projects!x
Oh wow. Thank you so much! Very kind. I do have several pillow patterns with tassels. A lot of people don't like tassels so I didn't add any here. I'm sure it will look beautiful! Thank you so much for the lovely comment.
Thank you for this video. I am wanting to make this pillow cover for a pillow insert that is 20 x 20. Do you know how many stitches I need to make for my starting chain? I would appreciate any help you can provide.
This detail is included in the description area above. Click "See More" or the little arrow next to the name of the video "Easy Crochet Alpine Stitch Pillow". Start with a chain of 51 and make as many rows as you need for the length of the pillow (16 inches). Thank you for watching!
First time attempting a pillow cover. I am using yarn with a J hook (yarn actually called for K but I only have J). My pillow is 16x16 but 55 is way too big. I want the length to be a little on the small side, right? I read somewhere it's better to be snug than a little loose. If you just hold up the foundation row to the pillow, should it just lie on it flat or make it a little smaller, if that makes sense? Thanks!
I'm so happy you're trying my pillow cover! In the description area above (where it says Show More) it says: For 16 x 16 start with a chain of 55. The pattern calls for an H hook. Doesn't matter what the yarn calls for. J will cause larger stitches so be sure you use a tighter tension. And use a #4 yarn that the pattern calls for. Hope this helps!
Wow. That's huge. I haven't made any cushion covers that large so I can't tell you an exact chain count. You can use a multiple of 2 plus 1 to get to your size. Hope this helps!
I'm trying to figure out how to make this pattern with a yarn that states on the package that 1" = 4 sc. I can't figure out how to compare this against the Loops & Threads Soft & Shiny which does not have that information on its package. Please help! (I'm a beginner in case that isn't obvious. :))
Don't worry about what the package (wrapper) says. Just get a #4 yarn and follow the tutorial. Using a softer #4 with a bit of sheen like I used gives you a more sophisticated look. After you work the first couple of rows hold the work against your pillow to check for fit. Adjust your hook size if you need to go bigger or smaller. Or grab the written pattern for different size pillow. Have fun. Don't over think.
Thank you soo much for this Beautiful pattern/Tutorial! I love it! I got some OGo in “Forest” it’s Perfect 👍 I’m a new Subscriber as well! 🙌 Appreciate your channel!
Do the chains at the beginning count as part of your count? I made this pillow 2 years ago and I can't remember if you are supposed to count the ch 1 or ch 2 at the beginning of the rows.
Hi Dalia. It could be a tension issue. Tension makes a huge difference in the outcome. Or maybe the yarn used? You can still salvage this by starting with a foundation chain in multiples of 2 plus 1. Make your chain longer. Hope this helps!
Thank you for watching. I would try a starting chain of 75 and 19 rows. That's an educated guess as I haven't actually worked one up that size. It should work though!
Hi Sara. The detail is always in the description area (white space below the video). 15 ounces (2.5 skeins) Loops & Threads Soft & Shiny (aprox 700 yards)
Hello ladybug! I would start with a chain of 45. Check that width against your pillow. If you need to adjust, use a multiple of 2 plus 1. I hope this helps.
Hi Jess. I'm glad you like this pattern! The easiest way to make this stripey is to use two colors and make the single crochet rows the second color. Hope this helps. Enjoy!
You probably don't want to use a velvet yarn for this. You will end up with a larger pillow cover and the delicate stitch will look thick and rough. You can try a swatch and see how it looks though.

How do you work out how many stitches you need if you working with different yarn?
Hi, thanks so much for the easy tutorial. For a 16x16 how many rows would one need to crochet? Thanks...
For 16 x 16 start with a chain of 55. and 25 rows. Thank you for watching!
@@CrazyCoolCrochet great. Thanks so much for the prompt reply. Really appreciate it...

Would you recommend using crochet threads or yarns for this project 🤔
I gave the recommended yarn at the very beginning of the video. Crochet thread is not recommended. It is much too thin.
To join them could you single crochet along the seam?
Yes, that would be fine. Thank you for watching!

@@catherinemaguire4751 Oh good! Thank you for watching.
Fantastic video! What numbers might I use to go about a 26 x 18 pillow?
I'm glad you like this. I believe a starting chain of 89 would work for a 26 inch pillow cover. Work the same number of rows as for the 18 x 18.

Hello ladybug! I would start with a chain of 45. Check that width against your pillow. If you need to adjust, use a multiple of 2 plus 1. I hope this helps.

I’m really late but how do you add fluff without it being visible?
I don't use fluff for pillow covers. As stated toward the end of the video, I cover an "existing" pillow.
Hi, can this be made with Bernat velvet Yarn without getting undone ?
You probably don't want to use a velvet yarn for this. You will end up with a larger pillow cover and the delicate stitch will look thick and rough. You can try a swatch and see how it looks though.
