![[DRIP] ‘Love, Maybe’ PREVIEW](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/U7hwHp95m1k/mqdefault.jpg)
I'm a beginner and started this project last night. Love how it is looking so far! Thanks for the quick and easy project idea!!
Was wanting to crochet a few pillows. This is perfect! Thank you!
Thank you for this I couldn’t understand any other video about making a pillow but this video is really specific thank you!
What a fab tutorial! Can’t wait to get started on making some cushions!
Made a few pillows and r giving them as Xmas gifts love your video
I’m really glad I watched. I wouldn’t have thought of doing three stitches in the corner or closing up the edges with a crochet stitch. I’m thinking about the colour of the pillow case now. If we use a dark colour wool then the white will show through and ruin the look so I’m considering sewing a black pillow case first and then stuffing it into the crocheted case.
Thanks for the easy pillow pattern! First one I've made and it turned out great!
Watching this after seven years. I wonder how big your baby is now. Bless you, 💕
Your projects are always so beautiful and your instructions are easy to follow. I crocheted my first ever baby blanket from one of your videos. (He’s about to turn 4! 🥰) Is there a formula for number of starting chains and number of rows based on the pillow size? I’m know I can always just measure. Just wondering if anyone had used this pattern with different sized pillows.
Love it. Just finished my cover. Super simple to make. I made it in an envelop style so I can remove the pilliw case
Great tutorial 🙂 I have made three of these pillows already. Your tutorials are wonderful! You’re patient and clear and easy to follow🙂. Thank you so much 😊
As a beginner, I appreciate the Cera angle. It makes it easier to follow.
Love it!
How to wash it once it gets dirty?
Thank you for sharing this pattern instead of using two balls of yarn could you just use a bulky yarn
Very awesome saved money
I love the way u did the pillow case but, what I like to know since You crochet around the the whole pillow, if u wanted to clean or wash it, how would u wash or clean it if u crochet around the whole pillow? Unless u wash the whole pillow n all. I was just wondering , I was thinking of putting Velcro at the end . What do u think?
Thanks
Rita
Beautiful job
hi can you put more videos in pintrest? I have saved this video there to start this project tonight with a friend. we Skype crochet every Tuesday. this a great project for us. I'm now a follower thank you
HI ! :)
I started this pillow and when I looked at the supplies needed I wanted to be sure to have everything to start, bought the 10 mm hook, bought the 2 skeins of Vanna's oatmeal yarn, my 14x14 in pillow form and got started (YEAH!) ... so far so good, used 2 strands of yarn as mentioned and now, being done with my 1st side that looks the perfect size for my pillow form, I'm out of yarn !!! Did I do something wrong or did it took you 2 balls of yarn for each side too ? I did single crochet as shown in the video. Thanks in advance for answering. :)
I used two skeins for each side :)
Love your tutorials!
+Leta Carr thanks so much!
adorable!! I can't wait to see the next video!
Nice. Super super easy
Beautiful!!!!
Thank you for this interesting video.
Iam learning right now
Heya! dis is awesome!! can u pls add d link to d fox 🦊 cross stitch... plz!
Hello !! I just want to know if I can do double crochet stiches , an if so do I have to chain two at the end and start my work again ?
Yes and yes, Andrea! :)
Great video. So simple..But was thinking shd we do more stitches and measure the length..Like I want to do a size 16 by 16 inches..So how many chains to do..
when your turning your work for the double crochet to add both of them are you adding another stich or no just turning
She did not do double crochet anywhere. Only single... and when she turns to attach them both together it’s the same stitch throughout the process! Never changes
Once you finish the first row, how many do you chain up to go to the next row?
New to crocheting; thanks so much! Can’t wait to try this! xoxo
She said chain 31 and then when you go back and single crochet you should have 30 single crochets. Then chain one for the turning chain, and start single crocheting back across the row. Does that make sense? 😬
@@alliecheatwood8598
This looks some enough. My mom requested a pillow case for her pillows. I think her pillows are pretty large so I would probably have to measure and make the chain longer
Good evening. Beautiful Vid... Thanks for sharing. I have a 6mm hook. Can it still be effective getting the Desired Look?
It would, but since the hook is smaller the pillow would be smaller...
Sorry I'm new, so if I was using a yarn that has a rec. hook size of J, and used two skeins, would I have to use a bigger hook? And if so, what size would you recommend?
Yes! I use a double strand of worsted weight yarn quite often and find that it works best if you take the size the package recommends and go up 5 or 6 sizes. So the vanna's choice yarn I use recommends a J hook as well, and I used a P hook. Hope this helps!
Do I have to use double strand or could I use a single strand with a smaller hook?
Hello, I am doing the pillow with Lion brand yarns Wool-ease Thick & Quick. It is thicker than your and I did 36 row and in centimeters is 46 cm. Should I have to stop? Or I have to keep going until 38 rows. Thank you.
very cute
I have a 16x16 pillow I would like to cover how many more stitches and rows would I need? Would just measuring do the trick?
On the 38th row do you then make a "39th" row & slip stitch across to make it look more finished?
Is it all right to crochet and longer pillow case for two pillows that you sleep on in your bed
Wow! Awesome... I have not thought to use double strands of yarn. I'll have to try that technique :) Thanks for posting! New subbie here :)
What weight of yarn are you suing and what size crochet hook? Thanks x
I made a pillow just like you and it came out the size of 16 by 16 way to big so I adjusted it and made it 14 by 14 I did 29 chains and did 15 length and cam out great used an n hook and single crochet.
Glad you could make it work for you Robin!
Using two strands of yarn, can you use two different colors ?
u can also use feathers, hope that was good help from one craft to another.
Hi instead of making 2 panels can I make it as a single piece with same pattern??
how do I make the pillow smaller and can i do it with just one skein? I already have bulky yarn
I can only find an 18"x18" can you tell me how many chains and rows for that size?
Hello , I want to make a 40cm×40cm cushion, how many chains do I start with... first time on this, thank you
Hi, I really like your video. I want to make a cover for an 18 x 18 inch pillow. Can you tell me how many stitches I need?
Just compare the single strand against your pillow
@@cheryllynn7816 Ok, thank you!
Do you have to use a pillow form or can you use stuffing instead?
You can most certainly use stuffing! You may want to use a smaller hook size so that there are absolutely no gaps for stuffing to pop through.
u can use foam, cotton, pillow form. ive learned that, doing upholstery with my dad. let ur imagination guide u n have fun. but use small stitches.
Love this, thank you
Hi I love your video, I have to make a pillow which is 20 by 20 how many chains do I do
For mine (16 x 16) I did 47 chain if that helps...I simply measured the width of cushion and increased by 3's
I'm a new at crocheting and would like to make a 20x20 pillow for my new granddaughter using this method, how do i measure appropriately? TIA :)
Crochet a swatch of 5"x5" using your preferred stitch (or Single crochets as I did in this video). Count how many stitches are in your row and how many rows it took to make a 5 in. square. Then multiply those measurements by 4. Hope this helps!
You are using an n/p crochet hook that's 10.00 mm hook. Am I able to use a regular 10.00 mm metal hook?!?
Of course! Should come out just the same :)
What yarn did you use and how many balls?
do you need to double the strands of yarn?
Can I use Bernat blanket yarn to make the cover of the pillow
I have been following this pattern but mine came out really tight and I am fighting to get the stitch in. I did single stitches and put my hook through the four loops... Is it supposed to be four because of the two strands or did I mess it up and over complicate it?
Nope you should technically be working through four loops due to the double strand. When your work is coming out tight it's almost always because you have too much tension on the working yarn. Relax and take it one stitch at a time!
Sewrella I barely put any at all. I ripped it all out, restarted with the two loops and it was a completely different story. Still used the two strands but it was looser and looked way better.
About how long would you say this project takes from start to finish?
Can we use any yarn and the needle size the yarn Requires.
Completed one pillow for Christmas. The video is too quick in the explanation so, I recommend watching it twice. After that, it's a quick and easy project
Can you make a blanket using this pattern?
Yes, you can. Or thicker yarn and only one strand. Just make your chain to the desired width of your blanket. And same with length.
Could you please write down the brand of your hooks, I could not understand you you said. Thank you
God blessing ❤ 💕 💞 ♥
Oh never mind, I see the single crochet together at the end. (:
👌
Do we need double ?
Can I increase chains to create a sham size cover?
How do I decided the length and rows if my pillow is larger? 31x21”
What kind of yarn did you use
How many yards of yarn did you use?
His do you wash it? With the pillow in?
What size/ weight wool did you use?
Please help!!! I have been single crocheting all the way down my chain. Then adding a chaining one at the end of every row. But now the ends are becoming longer then the bottom rows.... So it no longer looks straight and even... But more of a rainbow shape... What am I doing wrong?? Xxx
Just looking through comments, I have been crocheting for many years (looking at this pattern to gauge wool needed for a project). You've probably worked this out but two things could have gone wrong, either (most likely) your starting chain was too tight (I always begin with a foundation starting row (videos on youtube) as I often make this mistake too) or you are getting extra stitches at the end/beginning of the row, always count your stitches until you are more confident.
How do you set up your camera right above you like this without it getting in the way?
I unfortunately clipped my yarn not knowing I was to start the closing of the sides, what should I do?
About how many yards of yarn do you need for this?
I want to make a pillowcase, but there's one thing that's holding me up and making me scared to. Crochet pillow cases aren't open on one side. So how do you wash them?? When you buy a pillow case at the store, you take the case off and you don't throw the entire pillow in the wash. But with a crochet pillow case, you'd have to throw the entire pillow in! That's not an issue??
and how much mor stitches would I have to make to use a 5.00 mm hook
You are using 14 by 14 pillow your looks smaller than mine please tell me what I should do
What yarn are you using? I can't hear what you said.
Instead of making 2 squares, can't you just make one long piece and sew it together?
Yes, but it would be more difficult to sew it up.
That did not look like single crochet. That looked like half double crochet...!
Nope, single crochet :) Yarn over, insert your hook, pull up a loop, yarn over, pull through both loops
@@Sewrella ik I’m six years late lol but here in the US that is called half double crochet, I’m guessing it must be different where you live
Good
What size pillow form for a baby pillow
What type of hook is it and where can I get it?
I always get my hooks from the craft store or on amazon. I love clover amour hooks the best!
Does it matter how main chains you do
also can I use a 5.00 mm hook
Layla Strahl I used a size 5.50 hook and it turned out good for me
can you crochet a baby pillow case
what is the hook size like not the letter
neonwolf606 Gaining(10.Sz.
How do you keep the sides of the squares so straight?
to be honest with you. its practice.practice keeping tension the same and keeping count. iif you still have issues with it, you can always use stitch markers in the the turning chain.
How many skeins did you use for this? Just two?
Why can't I crochet a long strip and just have three sides to sew up?
hi on the video you chain 31 but on the Patten you say to chain 27 ? how many do I chain ? thanks
Yes I'm curious. She said 31 chains then after the first row done she said there should be 30 single crochet stitchs across. So do we skip a stitch in the beggining?!? Please clarify this. Thank you!
I think you should chain based on the size of your pillow.
It's 31 because one stitch is used to move up to the next row. Therefore leaving you with 30 stitches across.
What size pillow ?
I have a 16 size pillow
How many chains and rows do I do. Thank you for your time
Me too... ive used 47 chain but think you could safely go up another 3 or 4 chains.
@@DebbieStevens how did it turn out with 47 chains. Going to attempt to so some too. I have size 16 pillows as well
@@annaalcala92 Absolutely perfect! If I knew how to upload a pic here I could show you!
@@DebbieStevens thank you for reply! Will try it out
Sorry I didnt understand what the hook size is?
P!
what is the size of the pillow in this tutorial?
14 inch by 14 inch
I can’t find the video of how you added the fox.

Can I use a 6.00 mm hook
You can, your pillow will just come out with slightly different sizing so you may need to adjust the size pillow form you use.
Yarn size?
