PILLOW COVER IN TAPESTRY CROCHET
Long time, no see from me, I know! But here I am, back with some exciting news: in November 2021 I started a collaboration with Hobbii Yarns, the famous Danish yarn company we all know and love. This means I will be publishing crochet projects on their site and - guess what? - they will be totally FREE for you to download.

TAPESTRY CROCHET
The very first project I made for Hobbii was something I had in mind for awhile, a technique I wanted to use again after years: tapestry crochet. Tapestry crochet is one of the few techniques you can use to create pixelated designs with crochet, juxtaposing different yarns in different colours - a bit like cross stitch. It is not a difficult technique, but it requires some patience, since you need to carry several different strands of yarn at once. I even made a video tutorial on tapestry crochet some time ago (you find it here: TAPESTRY CROCHET), and I created a colourful "wall carpet" (WALL ART ).
PILLOWCASE FREE PATTERN
For this project in tapestry crochet I started from the design and only later decided I would make a pillow cover with it. This is the design:
I decided to name it "Heart full of Joy". Also, since I have a small obsession with ombre, self-striping yarns, I decided to use Hobbii's beautiful "Carnival" range for the heart motifs, while using a soft grey as background colour ("Amigo XL"). The final result was this jumbo pillow cover:

Both sides of the pillow cover are identical, but the colours change slightly, since they are gradually blending, so you will never get bored while working on this project. 😉
You can find the FREE pattern for this lovely and colourful pillowcase on Hobbii's site: FREE PATTERN OF PILLOW COVER.
Finally, to make everything easier for you, I even made a video tutorial showing the trickiest stages of this project. You find it here: VIDEO TUTORIAL FOR PILLOW COVER.
More free crochet (and TUNISIAN CROCHET) projects will soon be available for you to download on Hobbii's site. So stay tuned!
