You will learn how to crochet a pillow cover
In this quick crochet tutorial, you will learn how to crochet a pillow cover using the corner-to-corner technique. The C2C Wattle Crochet Pillow Case Pattern is made with a Super Bulky (#6) yarn and so the pattern works super fast.
This pillow crochet pattern includes easy-to-follow written instructions, a photo tutorial, and a video tutorial for the stitch pattern.

When I designed this pattern, I wanted to create an easy crochet cushion cover pattern that can be adjusted easily to any size you want.
The pillow cover is made with the Wattle stitch, worked from corner to corner. This way you can keep increasing to adjust the pillow to the size you’d like, or use a different yarn weight.
Another thing that is important for me, is to have the option to take out the pillowcase to wash it, so I made it as a crochet removable pillow case pattern.

The Yarn I Used for my C2C Crochet Pillow
For my pillow, I used Lion Brand – Hometown yarn in Aspen Tweed shade. It’s a soft acrylic Super Bulky (#6) weight yarn that comes in beautiful colors.
Although I used a Super Bulky yarn, since this crochet pillow case pattern is crocheted from corner to corner, you can use a different yarn weight and just keep increasing until reaching the desired size.

Row 11: ch1, skip next sc and dc, 1sc in next ch1. Fasten off and donโt cut the yarn and continue seaming the pillow.
Seaming the Pillow
Fold the rectangle in half, leaving 1 in (2.5 cm) overlap to fold over the front side for the buttons.
With a tapestry needle and yarn, sew up the sides with a whip stitch (or your preferred joining method).
Sew the buttons in equal intervals approx. 0.5โ (1.25 cm) from the top of the front side (if you made the closing flap longer, sew the buttons accordingly.
The buttons are inserted into the spaces between the stitches.
