Crochet Nutmeg Free Pillow Pattern Simple Home Decor

Sharing is caring!

The Crochet Nutmeg Free Pillow Pattern is quick to work up, it's also beautiful home decor. These are crochet stitches in the round, not knit. I love figuring out new crochet stitch combinations that will mimic that knit look.

I kept this pillow simple in both style and color to be used as a staple home decor piece all year round. You can spruce it up to your style by changing colors every so often to add stripes. Or learn How to Make a Tassel with Yarn and add tassels to each corner to spice it up. And if you love home decor in the spring, check out the St. Patrick's Crochet Shamrock Pillow Cover or the Camper Crochet Pillow Cover.
