Black and White Throw Pillow

"Black and white never goes out of fashion, right!? I’m no style expert but I do love the simplicity of anything monochrome. This crochet throw pillow is worked using the Alpine Stitch - if you know how to crochet a dc and tr (UK) / sc and dc (US), then you will be able to complete this project in no time! The pillow is worked in two panels which are seamed together using the rdc (UK) / rsc (US) so no sewing required!"

Crochet HookH/8 or 5 mm hook

Yarn Weight(4) Medium Weight/Worsted Weight and Aran (16-20 stitches to 4 inches)

Crochet Gauge4”x4” (10cm x 10cm) = 13 stitches and 14 rows in Alpine Stitch pattern (alternating rows of dc/tr (UK) or sc/dc (US))

Finished Size17 Inches x 17 inches (43 cm x 43 cm) approx. I deliberately made the cushions a little bit under 18” so that when I used an 18” insert the cushions would be nice and plump.

Materials List

• Stylecraft Special Aran with wool in Starling and Black (or any aran weight yarn)
• 18" cushion insert
