Isn't there something just so cozy about rustic and cabin home decor? While the Tree Tassel Knit & Crochet Pillows were inspired by the holidays, I really think they would look great all year round. This is an easy crochet or knit pattern and instructions for both versions are on this blog post.

Who doesn't like things that can work up fast? These are a fun quick project and could be used for holiday decorating, or maybe even a log cabin theme.

Tree Tassel Knit & Crochet Notes:

  • 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 from the bottom up in rows and in two pieces. The front panel will also work a buttonhole flap to secure the top of the crochet pillow. The front and the back panels will be slip stitched together once completed. A burlap fabric can be used for the back panel.

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

Tree Tassel Crochet & Knit Assembly:

Block the pillow front.


Fold the burlap fabric in half to 24x24 inch dimensions. Place the crochet pillow piece on top of the fabric with RS facing in, lining up the folded edge of the burlap with Row 48 on crochet and 60 on knit. Using a tapestry needle and yarn, hand sew the two pieces together around the sides and bottom of the pillow, leaving the top open. Flip RS out and sew buttons to the burlap fabric spaced at the buttonholes.

Use the Tassel Maker to create 10 tassels. Stitch the tassels to the front of the pillow in a tree shape as shown in the images.
Place the pillow inside and enjoy!

I'm a Florida girl for the past decade, but before that, I lived in the Rocky Mountains.
While I love nature and hiking, I've grown extremely fond of the sunny beaches. Read More…
