Product Description
My Pink Ombre Pops Pillow is is composed of a giant granny square with a popcorn stitch center. On the front side, different shades of pink yarn are used to create the ombre effect. I have also made another version of this pillow with green, yellow, and pink yarn. The instructions for both color combinations are included in the pdf. The back is simply a solid pink granny square. I used Blue Sky Fibers Organic Cotton (worsted) yarn. Since the yarn weight is worsted, the pillow does not take very long to make. You will also need a 14 by 14 inch pillow insert and 5 buttons. The buttons allow the pillow to be taken on and off the pillow insert.
Pink Ombre Pops Pillow by Maggie Trunkhill
Project Overview
The Pink Ombre Pops Pillow is a decorative cushion project designed by Maggie Trunkhill from Daisy Girl Crochet. This intermediate-level crochet pattern creates a striking pillow featuring dimensional popcorn stitches arranged in a granny square construction. The pillow showcases the designer's signature use of the popcorn stitch, a beloved crochet technique that creates bold, textured elements perfect for adding visual interest to home décor.
Construction and Design
The pillow is constructed using a two-part approach: the front features a large granny square with a prominent popcorn stitch center, while the back is a solid granny square. This combination creates a balanced, finished cushion with textural contrast between the dimensional front and the smooth back panel. The granny square construction method provides a classic, versatile base that works well for intermediate crocheters.
Stitches and Techniques
- Popcorn Stitch – The primary decorative element, creating large, dimensional pops that stand out prominently against the background
- Granny Square – The foundational construction method used for both the front and back panels
- Ombre Coloring – Color work technique using multiple shades of pink yarn to create a gradient effect
Materials and Yarn
This pattern calls for worsted weight cotton yarn
A 5.5 mm crochet hook is used for this project, which is the standard size for working with worsted weight yarn and creating well-defined stitches. Rated as intermediate difficulty, this pattern is suitable for crocheters with foundational knowledge of basic stitches and comfortable working with granny squares and popcorn stitch techniques.Tools Required
