Diamond Stitch Crochet Pillow

"The Diamond Stitch Pillow Crochet Pattern makes a wonderful addition to the living room or bedroom of any modern home. I used Lion Brand Scarfie for this pattern because a adore the color changes in this yarn, and it was the yarn I used for the matching blanket pattern. It’s often on sale at JoAnn or you can buy it from Lion Brand. If you have bulky yarn in your stash feel free to use it, or use two strands of worsted yarn held together (which will give you a larger gauge, but you can adjust your pillow form accordingly or just use fiberfill). Most of us have a lot of worsted weight yarn in our stash, and a blanket and pillow combo is a great way to use it up! Feel free to use whatever yarn gets gauge for you, of if you aren’t concerned about it fitting a 12″ pillow insert, then the sky is the limit and you can go with whatever size you like! (I’ve provided the multiple below so you can adjust it if needed). Yarn: Lion Brand Scarfie, 1 skein in Cream/Taupe. This is a bulky weight yarn (category #5) with 312 yards per skein. Crochet Hook: US Size L (8.00mm) Notions: Yarn needle (tapestry needle), scissors, 12″ pillow form"
