Highland Ridge Pillow Free Crochet Pattern
I’ve recently found a love for shopping at Homegoods (not sponsored) and in the home decor section at Target (also not sponsored), and one of the things I frequently see is knit and crochet pillows and blankets. Since I love all things yarn, I obviously needed some of these for my home! But of course, I couldn’t just buy them. Nope! I had to make my own. And that’s where I got the idea for my new Highland Ridge pillow.
This is a really easy pillow that uses mainly double crochets and front post double crochets to create a nice ribbed texture. I love the simplicity of it and because it’s so simple, I feel it would fit in well with so many different styles of decor.
And did I mention that it’s also really easy?! Yep, I think this project is prefect for those Netflix & crochet kind of days. If you scroll to the bottom of this post, you’ll even find a full video tutorial where I’ll show you step by step how to make one!
