Hi there! Today I’m sharing a free crochet pattern for a farmhouse style pillow with a nautical design. I have a soft spot in my heart for nautical decor and have had the design for this pillow in my head for quite some time, so I’m thrilled to finally be sharing it. In fact, I loved the vibe of this pillow so much that I made a coordinating pillow to go with it. I will be sharing the pattern for this nautical pillow’s mate (pun intended) in my next post!
Once again, I used my favorite super bulky yarn – Lion Brand Hometown USA. It comes in a fantastic range of colors and is so easy to work with. The best part about using a super bulky yarn however, is that it makes this project work up so quickly! I hope you give it a try!

Follow the graph below. Each square on the graph represents 1 sc. Work the odd rows by reading the graph from right-to-left, the even rows by reading the graph from left-to-right, and so forth. Change colors as indicated by the graph. Any color not in use will be dropped and picked back up when needed. Make sure you always drop the yarn to the back side (wrong side) of the panel. The back side of this panel will look quite messy, but it does not matter because it will not be seen once the pillow is assembled. When you have completed the pattern on the graph, fasten off and weave in all ends.

Continue working sc until you have worked around the entire perimeter of the pillow, sl st to beginning and fasten off. Weave in ends.
