30+ Crochet Patterns for Pillows and Cushions – Great For Home and for Gifts!

Crochet cushions are great. There are so many different ways that you can make them. You can create a whole huge set and change them out regularly to keep your space seasonally decorated or just updated in fun new ways. Crochet pillows make great gifts for others; they feel really special and personal without being too personal. There are so many great crochet pillow patterns out there. Here are a few.

Mega Mandala cushion free crochet pattern from Red Agape. This is a fun, colorful crochet pattern that’s meditative to make and fabulous to enjoy. You could actually take almost any crochet mandala pattern and turn it into a crochet cushion by putting a pack on it. See 40+ crochet mandala patterns for inspiration if you’re interested in doing that. The one pictured below is a Mandalas for Marinke donation by Alice who used the Seafoam Mandala Pillow crochet pattern by Crochet Memories.

This circle crochet cushion pattern from Crochet Tea Party is another one that resembles a mandala. This is a free crochet pattern on Ravelry.

Bobble stitch cushion free crochet pattern from @annabooshouse. You could make it one solid color like you see here or change out the colors for a striped and textured crochet pillow.

Crochet pillow free pattern from Rescued Paw. The crochet squares that you see here are a great variation on a granny square and the way that they’re combined together here makes for a great contemporary pillow design.

Frilly striped crochet pillow cover free pattern from Lazy Hobbyhopper. It’s important to note that you don’t have to actually make full crochet pillow – meaning that you don’t have to stuff them – but instead could make crochet pillow covers that are easily removable and can be changed out frequently using your existing pillows.

Basketweave pillow free crochet pattern from Little Monkeys Crochet. This is one of my favorite crochet stitches. It’s fun to make and once you get going it’s got a repetition to the pattern that is so soothing. I love it one solid color but also think it would look great as an ombre!
