Learn how to make a beautiful crochet snow pillow with this free pattern. This crochet pattern comes with written instructions as well as a color graph.
There is something so peaceful about a winter night when there is fresh snow on the ground. Everyone is home for the night. The roads are quiet. And when you look out your window all you can see is the moonlight reflecting off the snow.
This peacefulness and serenity…I wanted to savor it and bottle this up somehow. Of course, the best way I could think of was to crochet something depicting a serene winter night. I decided to make a crochet snow pillow. The pillow is cozy and soft. The perfect accompaniment for a cold winter evening.

How the Crochet Snow Pillow is Made
This pillow was made using the fair isle technique which is the waistcoat stitch aka knit stitch. Don’t let this crochet technique intimidate you. As long as you know how to single crochet, then you can make this pillow. Fair isle crochet and the waistcoat stitch are made with just a couple of subtle changes.
The backside was made in one solid color and the front has the winter snow scene shown off beautifully.
The pillow was made using Hobby Lobby’s Yarn Bee Soft Secret yarn which is a worsted-weight yarn. Feel free to use your favorite worsted-weight yarn for this pattern. You can even switch up the colors to match your own home decor.
If you have trouble with changing colors in crochet and would like to know how to easily manage the color transitions easily, then this Free 3 Part Workshop is for you! This course is offered just a few times per year. You will learn color transitioning, all while having less yarn to weave in without having other yarn colors peeking through.
I will demonstrate and teach you step by step how to change colors in crochet, how to prevent yarn tangles, and have less yarn to weave in.

Instructions:
This pattern starts from the bottom up, you will first crochet one row of single crochet stitches and then go in continuous rounds to crochet the waistcoat stitch (aka knit stitch) in rounds while changing colors. You will finish by inserting the pillow insert (or stuffing) and sewing it up to close it.
Using your 3.5mm hook and the blue yarn, ch 76, then crochet 1 row of single crochet stitches in the back bump of the chain (see the video on the first page for more info).
Then crochet on the opposite side of the row just made (see pictures in the references for a close-up). You will now have 150 stitches per round. Now you will follow the chart below (round 1 was made). The chart is 2D, but you will crochet in continuous rounds – all using the waistcoat stitch.

Once you finished the pillow, add the insert (or stuffing) and sew the last round together using the mattress stitch to close it.
Now, fasten off and weave in your ends.
PICTURE REFERENCE:
*I used light blue yarn to demonstrate the first row and round, but actually used dark blue yarn
Make a chain and crochet 1 sc in each chain, into the back bump of the chain.
Now crochet in rounds (no extra stitches added). Crochet sc’s (one per stitch) into the V’s of each stitch. First crochet underneath the sc stitches you just made in row 1, then you crochet on the top of the stitches of row 1.
Once you are finished with ROUND 1 it should like the picture above.
You will now crochet in CONTINUOUS rounds using sc in the blo.
