Crocheted seed stitch is one of the most appealing and versatile crochet stitch patterns. Here’s a simple crocheted pillow pattern to show off this wonderful stitch. It’s so easy to do, but depending on your color choices, it can take on a variety of looks.

Recently I got a new Ikea chair to replace the old rump-spring chair in my office. And then, of course I needed a couple of new pillows for the chair. Rather than design two separate pillows I decided to let one pillow do double duty by creating coordinating designs on each side.
This simple seed stitch pillow has narrow stripes on one side and a bold asymmetric stripe on the other. It’s a good just-beyond-beginner project (for yourself or for your crochet students).

The Yarn and the Pattern
The pillow shown here uses medium-weight (worsted weight) yarn. You’ll need about 240 yards [230 meters] of color A and about 155 yards [145 meters] of Color B.
I used Valley Yarns Valley Superwash (100% extrafine superwash merino wool, 1.75 oz [50 g], 97 yd [89 m]): 3 balls #306 Wine Time (A) and 2 balls #200 Steel Grey (B)
There are many yarns that are suitable for this project. You may even have something in your stash that would work just fine!
You’ll also need a 14″ [35.5 cm] square pillow form like the ones shown here.
The ad-free pdf pattern includes both written and charted instructions. If you have minimal crochet skills (single crochet and chain stitch), that’s all you need to complete the project!
