Cloud pillow

After the stars, the moon and the heart shaped pillows, I made a cloud pillow as well. 😊

I reworked the pattern of the clouds I made for the hot air balloon wall hanger, enlarged it and made a few changes to be suitable for the yarn I used for the pillow.

• 

• 

Size: it’s approximately 25 cm high and 60 cm wide

Yarn: Himalaya Dolphin Baby (100 polyester; 100g – 120mt/131 yds; hook size 4.5 mm) – I needed little more than 2 balls to finish.

Hook: 4.5 mm

Stitches used and abbreviations (US):

• slst: slip stitch
• sc: single crochet
• sc inc: single crochet increase – make 2 sc’s in the same stitch
• sc dec: single crochet decrease (for this type of yarn better to use normal decreases not the invisible one)

Pattern instructions:

Work in rounds, in a spiral form continuously. Add stuffing only a few rows before finish (I found it easier to work on it unstuffed).

R1: ch 2 and make 8 sc in 2nd stitch from hook (8 sts) (for this kind of yarn this worked better for me than starting with a magic ring)
