Pillows are life, right? Who doesn’t love a cozy crochet pillow? We love to pile the pillows on the beds in my house. So this project is perfect for my family, and I hope you’ll love it too!
I’ve had a lot of requests to make a tutorial on how to change colours. The crochet heart pillow is the perfect project to give an easy demo! This crochet pattern comes with a step by step video on Youtube. I’ve been learning how to use iMovie on my mac, so I hope you enjoy the fun intro my kids and I created!

This is a great beginner project that’s fun for all ages! I made this pillow for my bed but my kids love it so much they’re actually inspired to make their own! (yes! nailed it!). I helped my daughter graph out her favourite saying for hers.
