Reversible Cozy Pillow Case by Nicole Riley

Project Overview

This downloadable crochet pattern creates a reversible cushion cover designed to fit an standard 18x18 inch pillow insert. The reversible construction allows crafters to display two different color combinations, making it a versatile home décor piece that works with various interior styles.

What You'll Create

The finished pillow case is a square cushion cover measuring 18x18 inches, suitable for standard decorative pillows. The reversible design means both sides of the finished project showcase different color combinations, providing flexibility in how you style and display your finished piece.

Crochet Techniques and Stitches

This beginner-friendly pattern uses fundamental crochet stitches to build the pillow cover. The stitches employed are:

• Chain (ch) – the foundation stitch used to create the base of the project
• Double Crochet (dc) – the primary stitch used throughout the body of the pillow case for structure and texture
• Slip Stitch (sl st) – used to join rounds and create seamless transitions

The pattern works at a gauge of 4 double crochets by 2.5 rows equals 5 square inches, which helps ensure your finished pillow case reaches the correct dimensions.

• Pillow Insert: Hypoallergenic pillow insert form cushion, 18x18 inches
