10. Easy Striped Cushion Cover Crochet Pattern

  • Designed by Ewa Dulian

What happens when a practical tool becomes a soft object? This crochet pillow takes the shape of an oversized crochet hook and reimagines it as interior design.

A simple rectangle doesn’t stay simple for long in this crochet pillow design.
