Large Crochet Heart Pillow Pattern
I love making handmade gifts for the people I care about, and this pillow I made for my daughter.
This crochet heart pillow pattern has a beautiful texture, made using the Herringbone crochet stitch only on one side (we are not working with the reverse Herringbone stitch).
And the size of the pillow is big enough that it’s fun to hug, and can also be used as a decoration on a bed.

Crochet Heart Pillow with Super Bulky Yarn
Since I wanted to make this pattern work up quickly, I decided to use Super Bulky (#6) weight yarn, which emphasizes the beautiful texture of the Herringbone stitch.
You can use any super bulky yarn you have, I used Himalaya Everyday Big yarn. This is a soft anti-pilling acrylic yarn, and it comes in a beautiful variety of colors.
If you are looking for more yarn options, you can also use these yarns:
Lion Brand – Wool-Ease Thick & Quick
Bernat – Softee Chunky
Mary Maxim – Starlette Chunky

Pattern Notes
- Ch1 at the beginning of the row doesnโt count as a stitch.
- The pattern is worked with the Herringbone stitch, worked only on its โright sideโ without working the Reverse Herringbone stitch.
- [โฆ] โ crochet the instructions within brackets into the same indicated stitch.
- Optional โ I have lined each panel of the pillow with fabric, to help prevent the stuffing from popping out of the pillow. This is an optional step, and you can choose to skip it.
