Building Blocks Pillow
Build your dream decor brick-by-brick with the Building Blocks Pillow! This adorable decorative pillow is the matching pair to the Building Blocks Baby Blanket -- both designs are included in my new book, Crochet Retro Blankets in 1 Week, alongside 19 other matching throw & pillow sets.
This pattern is best suited for advanced beginners. The pattern produces a decorative pillow that is 14.5” (37 cm) wide and 14.5” (37 cm) long, and it has instructions to adjust for other possible sizes. It is worked row-by-row with color changes to create the brick motif.
The pattern is written in English using US terminology. It includes step-by-step instructions and images.
Materials:
6.5mm crochet hook
370 total yds (338 m) of chunky/bulky/size 5 yarn (depends on size)
~200g polyfil stuffing or 15 x 15-inch (38 x 38-cm) pillow sham
Scissors
Stitch markers
Bobbin holders (I used bobby pins)

I used Paintbox Yarns Simply Chunky to make this. I recommend using a similar acrylic or wool for your own project. See yarnsub.com for substitution recommendations.
