If you’re looking for farmhouse style decorating ideas, our rustic farmhouse pillow adds the perfect touch—style in your bedroom, family room or sunroom/mudroom.

Adding a few pillows to an entrance bench adds a cozy feel and makes a nice backrest when putting on your shoes. Make several up in neutral colours or add pops of colour to your decor.

I love adding throw pillows throughout the house. But I especially love crocheted pillow covers. Homemade pieces add extra warmth and love to the home. You’ll find my designs throughout my house.

Special Stitches:

Reverse SC – Reverse single crochet stitch is the same as a regular single crochet — except in reverse. Instead of working from right to left, you work from left to right.

CSC – Centre Single Crochet (Waistcoat Stitch) Formed the same way as a standard single crochet. Instead of working the usual way locate the inverted V-shape on the post of the stitch 1 row below. Insert your hook in the centre of that V. Create loose stitches with a large hook to make it easier to insert hook into the V. Watch YouTube tutorial here
