- How to crochet a floor pillow? In this tutorial, I show you how to make an adorable meditation pillow for meditating or stretching. I made this yoga prop pattern easy to customize so it can fit whatever size you need. This is a great addition to my yoga practice and has really helped me with some of my deeper stretches, especially doing the splits. This can also be increased to make an ottoman or foot rest.
I chose to stuff mine with waste and plastic bags I've accumulated recently due to curb-side grocery pickups, but you can literally use almost anything you have around your home.

Crochet Floor Pillow Pattern:
Yarn: 4 Medium
Crochet Hook Size: F / 5 / 3.75 MM
MC - Magic Circle
HDC - Half Double Crochet
*Continuous loop pattern (no starting/stopping rows).
MC
Row 1: 10 HDC in MC (10 total st at end of row).
Row 2: 1 HDC in 1st st, 1 HDC around the front post (this should be done in the same st). Repeat * for each st in row (20 total st at end of row).
Row 3: 2 HDC in st 1, 1 HDC around the front post of previous row’s front post st (st 2). Repeat * around the row (30 total st at end of row).
Row 4: 1 HDC in st 1, 2 HDC in st 2, 1 HDC in front post of st 3. Repeat * around the row (40 total st at end of row).
Increase the ottoman top to whatever size you would like by placing 1 HDC in each HDC st. When you reach the st directly before the previous row’s front post st, place 2 HDC. Then, place 1 HDC around the previous row’s front post st. Each row should increase by 10 st. Continue this pattern until the meditation pillow reaches your desired circumference.
Once your meditation pillow has reached your desired circumference, place 1 HDC in each st for 1 row. Don’t crochet around the front post stitches. Instead, place 1 st in the top of the st. For the next row, place 1 HDC in the BACK “V” of each stitch. Continue until this yoga prop reaches your desired height.
Once the meditation cushion has reached your desired height, begin by placing 1 front post st (trying to line it up with a front post from the last row with front post stitches). Next, count the number of stitches between posts in the previous front post row and place 1 HDC in that same number of stitches. In this tutorial, I had 16 stitches between my posts. So, I placed my first st (front post), then I placed 1 HDC in the next 16 st, then I placed another front post st. I repeated this pattern around the row.
Once you get back to the 1st st of the row, skip the st directly before it and then place your front post st. Repeat this pattern, skipping the st directly before your front post stitches, until you have decreased this down to a small hole that can be used to stuff. I chose to stuff mine with plastic bags I have been receiving from my curb-side grocery store runs (making zero waste nearly impossible for me).
Once your meditation pillow is stuffed to your liking, then continue the decreasing pattern until you get to the point that you have 1 regular st between your front post stitches. Decrease from there by placing 1 front post st in each front post, and skipping the regular st altogether. Then place 1 SL in each of the front post st. Seal the hole by placing 1 SL across from your current st, then across the circle again until the hole is sealed.
Tie off your yarn and hide your tails inside the meditation pillow.

Your video was a "suggested video " .....you are a great crochet teacher! Good job!!!!!
I will share your channel on social media as much as I can!,
I love all your items/tutorials! Keep them coming!
Thank you so much for saying this! Reading it brightened my whole day ☺️
This is lovely, thank you for sharing
Thank you again! I have been telling myself for years that I am going to make a massive one like this, but I haven't gotten around to it :)
@@CrochetWithJulie I'm glad you did, because I'm almost finished mine and wouldn't have made it at all 😂
I love this pattern! I already made one!
That's great! Thank you for your kind words 😊
I really loved it thank you so much 💗
Thank you so much for your feedback! Have a wonderful day :)
Love this, thank you. Must go and investigate my yarn stash... 🙂
Lol yes! Thank you for your kind words! 😁
You all prolly dont care but does someone know a tool to log back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly lost the login password. I would love any tricks you can offer me
@Zechariah Kenneth instablaster :)
@Vincent Arjun Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Vincent Arjun it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
Been trying to crochet this for hours and still no clue what is a post stitch...
The post st is shown around 1:03. Basically, DC around the post (or stem of the st) rather than the top of the st.
Hello, I am making this and cannot figure out how to do this stitch, "
Hello! Are you talking about the front post stitch?
Yep it's very unclear what to do and hard to follow. I have had to redo pretty much every part multiple times to try to figure it out. Very frustrating
hey there! i really like how simple this pattern is, but my front posts came out completely straight instead of in a swirl. any thoughts?
Thank you so much! The only thing I can think of is if you started and stopped each row verses the continuous loop pattern? Otherwise, I am not sure, but I will play around with it and see if I can figure it out.
Hi! I love the pattern. I am currently building it out but it does not lay flat but curls and some areas fold into one another while trying to lay out the other side. Did I do something wrong?
Yes, that can happen. As the pattern builds, it should flatten more.
about how long did this take you? or how long approxametly?
I should say between 1 - 2 hours, give or take. It really depends on how large you want to make it since the patter itself is adjustable.
Do you have a written version?
I always try to put a written pattern in the description as well as my blog 😊
What are the dimensions of your pillow?
It is roughly 14 inches in diameter and 4 inches thick (the actual "height" portion is only about 1.5 inches, but the roundness makes it 4 inches). This pattern is customizable, so if you want to make it bigger, you will need another skein or two of yarn. This almost perfectly used 1 skein. I had enough left over to make two buttons that I plan on attaching to another identical floor pillow in a different color so they look more cohesive. I hope this helps! Let me know if you run into any issues while making this and I will do my best to help you out! :)
Thank you so much. I'm still new to crocheting, so this will be one on my first big projects... I can't wait to give it a try
@@maryrivest9155 That is great! Let me know if you need any help :)
