This fluffy heart crochet pillow free pattern makes the perfect Valentine gift and home decor. Crochet it in red, pink, champagne, white or rainbow of colors, they will all look great. The yarn used here to create that fun texture is Lion Brand Fun Fur (#ad)
Yep, an entire rainbow of different colors (and color combinations) exist for this type of ever-so-soft yarn. I love it. Note that there is also a color combination called ‘rainbow’ which is quite appropriate for this and related Valentine Craft.
Fluffy Heart Crochet Pillow Free Pattern
For this Crochet Project you won’t need much.
This can be a one-skein wonder if you make the back using a piece of fabric instead of crochet. Otherwise you’ll need 2 balls of Lion Brand Fun Fur. I found this yarn in rainbow color
Crochet this on the large hook size I or 9. It’s very fast and easy.
You’ll also need a bit of filling and a needle and thread to sew the front and the back of the pillow together.
