Spooky Fun Halloween Crochet Pillows

I had so much fun designing and crocheting these Halloween pillows. The whole set is so cute together and I’m so excited to display them on my sofa this fall!

Each crochet pillow has the same basic foundation but with a face (and ears), they all have their own personality.

If you are looking to make these pillows removable covers, I do have a tutorial on how to do that. Check out the notes section in the pattern.

Crochet Pattern Notes

This pillow is made by crocheting two separate panels then crocheting them together around the pillow insert. The face is crocheted separately then sewn onto the front panel.

Beginning chains do not count as a stitch.

Numbers in parentheses after each row/round is the number of stitches in that row/round.

Assembly

Each panel should measure roughly 14” x 14”. They will be stretchy, so stretch them out a bit before sewing on the face.

Use the photo as a guide to sew on the eyes. Sew on scar above eye and mouth using black yarn and tapestry needle.

You can also use fabric glue or something similar to attach the pieces.

Hold both panels together and attach black yarn to the side of hairline.. Use 6.00mm hook and crochet the panels together with single crochets evenly around. Make 3 single crochets in each corner. Change yarn to green once you get to the green part of the panel. Once three sides are crocheted together, insert pillow and crochet remaining side. Join to first stitch, fasten off, and weave in ends.
