Back to school is around the corner- for us here in Canada, we don’t go back until after Labour Day. That hasn’t stopped me though… I’m already thinking of all the chunky makes and (dare I say….) autumn things? I’m not quite in full blown “pumpkin spice” mode—but I’ve definitely busted out some cozier yarns to play with. This pillow was one of them! I’ve used a super chunky yarn to make a 20” pillow here—I’m imagining so many combinations. I love the simplicity of all one colour and how it lets the textured sunbursts shine. I imagine, this would also be adorable in seasonal colours to match any décor.

Something I get asked often is: “Do I have to use JAYG (join as you go) or CJAYG (continuous join as you go) to join my squares?” The answer? -No! Of course not, there are many beautiful ways to join squares! This pillow pattern is meant to encourage those who haven’t made a pillow yet to try (because the above-mentioned methods may seem intimidating to first time crocheters). These squares are just slip stitched together and the result is a perfectly squishy pillow you can feel good about. Not only are the colour options endless-the sunburst squares always fill me with joy.

This pattern is written for pillow size 20x20” square in super chunky weight yarn. I used Lion Brand Re-Spun Thick & Quick for my grey pillow and a size 9.00mm hook. -Any super chunky weight yarn will work, as long as gauge is met.

New Alternative/Additional Hot pink, silver and Christmas coloured pillows have been added to the pattern. The holiday colours are Lion Brand Wool Ease Thick & Quick (106yds/170g). The hot pink and silver are WeCrochet Mighty Stitch Super Bulky (44yds/100g). Links are provided in pattern.

Pattern will include:

  • yarn amounts/quantities.
  • gauge.
  • stitch glossary.
  • printable pdf.
  • schematic for pillow
  • written instructions for sunburst granny square
  • video tutorial for the sunburst granny square used, the slip stitch method of joining squares and seaming for the pillow panel.

Happy Crocheting Everyone!
