Farmhouse Plaid Deer Crochet Pillow Cover

Sharing is caring!

The irresistible allure of farmhouse style home decor has captivated us all, drawing us in with its warmth, coziness, and inherent charm. There's something undeniably relaxing about the rustic elegance and character that defines this decorating trend. It's a style that resonates deeply, creating spaces that feel like a welcoming embrace.

Personally, my affinity for Farmhouse aesthetics is evident in my Thanksgiving Table Runner Crochet Pattern, where I intentionally infused the essence of this beloved decor. The Farmhouse Plaid Deer Crochet Pillow Cover, in particular, was crafted to encapsulate the essence of this style.

Additionally, for those enchanted by the festive spirit, the Red Christmas Truck Table Runner Pattern seamlessly complements the cozy charm of the crochet pillow, offering a harmonious pairing that brings the magic of Farmhouse decor to life.

I also love the color red around the holidays. It’s not a color I usually use in my home, but there is just something cheerful about that bright pop here and there. It’s eye-catching and warm compared to the often dull weather outside. 

And what does it look like if we take this same pattern and create it in spring colors? It changes the vibes completely and I could see this being used as a chic fresh look for a bedroom or living room in the warmer months. Or if you love pink! The spring version comes as a bonus when you purchase the ad-free pdf.

Important Crochet Notes

Gauge: Please note, matching gauge both horizontal and vertical can be difficult. Extra rows can be added at the top if needed so it is more important to match the stitch gauge versus the row gauge. This pattern also has some ease to fit over a pillow.

This pattern is worked in rows and in two pieces. The front panel will also work a button hole flap to secure the top of the crochet pillow. The front and the back panels will be slip stitched together once completed. 

After the end of each row turn and ch 1. The ch 1 does not count as a stitch. 

Since there is a wrong side and a right side to the pillow panels, I used a combination of intarsia and carrying yarn across the back for the color work. Experiment and see what works best for you.

Back Panel:
To begin chain 73 with dark red and start the first row in the second chain from hook.
Single crochet a total of 72 rows to create the back panel. 
Fasten off and weave in ends.

Attaching Buttons:
With the back panel facing, fold front panel down over the top of the back panel and with stitch markers mark the row where each button will be placed. Using a yarn needle and green yarn, sew each button in place. 

Place a 18×18 pillow inside the cover and enjoy!

Attaching Panels Together:
Place the front and back panels together with wrong sides facing. Using either green or white yarn, slip stitch from top of one side of pillow (where the panels meet, not over the flap), around the bottom, and up the other side. I found by slip stitching with a tight tension really makes some crisp edges, but you do not want puckering. Fasten off and weave in ends. Flip pillow so the right side is facing out and the seams are on the inside. 

Isn't colorwork so much fun! If you loved creating this pillow, I've got your next project waiting for you. Try out the Crocheted Quilted Pillow Cover or the Ho Ho Ho Crochet Pillow. But if you are also itching to step it up even more, and want to try your hand at garments, try the Fawning Over You Crochet Sweater or the Arizona Sweater Dress.
