Grow a beautiful citrus in your home -- without any of the hassle of real dirt -- with the Sicilian Summer Pillow! This adorable decorative pillow is the matching pair to the Sicilian Summer Throw -- 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 10” (25 cm) wide and 10.5” (27 cm) long, and it has instructions to adjust for other possible sizes. It is worked row-by-row with color changes to create the tomato and lemon motifs.

The pattern is written in English using US terminology. It includes step-by-step instructions and images.

Materials:
6.5mm crochet hook
195 total yds (179 m) of chunky/size 5 yarn (depends on size)
~150g polyfil stuffing or 11 x 11-inch (28 x 28-cm) pillow sham
Scissors
Stitch markers
Bobbin holders (I used bobby pins)

I used Cascade Yarns 128 Superwash to make this. I recommend using a similar acrylic or wool for your own project. See yarnsub.com for substitution recommendations.
