Inspiration

I love throw or decorative pillows. Whether they have removable pillow covers or not, they always add comfort to your life. I use them as a couch pillow, bed pillow, and in the car, especially when traveling on long trips. I cannot sit on a couch without my pillow. I always have one behind my back, in that, if I don’t have it, I feel so uncomfortable.

With spring and summer around the corner, I wanted to make a pillow cover that will reflect the season. Something bright. I am now all set with this soft and textured toss pillow cover. The pattern is easy and quick to make. You can make this pillow cover to fit or a removable pillow cover with buttons or zipper. I decided to make a pillow cover with buttons as it will be easier to clean and I will be able to change the cover as i want to.

Yarn

I used Mary Maxim Value 100% Acrylic from Mary Maxim. I had ordered this yarn several years ago to make a baby blanket but I never got to make it. When I decided to make a pillow I look around my stash and my eyes fell on this one. I thought it was a suitable color for spring and summer.

I wanted a textured pillow case so I went with the puff stitch.

If unable to find this yarn you can use substitute yarn which include:

Hobby Lobby’s-Crafter Secret Cotton and I Love This Cotton, Bernat Hand crafter Cotton, and Loops and Threads Cotton Colors.
