This post is all about how to crochet a modern and textured crochet pillow for your home.
I'm back with another pattern!
This pattern is so special to me because it is the first pillow pattern I ever designed. It used to be named the "boho pillow" but now has been renamed to the Poppy Pillow. I decided to take what I have learned and make this pattern even better for you. And now it is a free crochet pillow pattern!
This beautifully textured and modern pillow will look amazing in any color you choose. Since it is a commonly used size, 16" x 16", it will look great on your couch or your bed. I can't wait to see your beautiful diy pillow in your own home!
