Hourglass Bobble Pillow Cover by Lauren K Designs



Tools and Material:

Yarn used in the pattern is Big Twist from JoAnn, but any worsted or aran weight yarn can be used.  I used about 1½ skeins, or 570 yards/521.2 meters (255g).   

US F5 - 3.75 mm crochet hook or as needed to achieve gauge

Darning Needle for weaving in ends


Stitches and abbreviations:

Ch - chain 

st/sts - stitch/stitches

Sc - single crochet 

Hdc - half double crochet - yarn over, insert hook into stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over and pull through all 3 loops.

Bc - bobble crochet stitch - yarn over, insert into stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over, insert into stitch, pull up a loop ,yarn over, insert into stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over, insert into stitch, pull up one more loop.  Including your original loop on your hook, you should have 9 loops on your hook now. Yarn over one more time and pull it through all of the loops on your hook.


Gauge:

11 stitches and 11 rows = 4”

To find gauge, chain 12, then work single crochet for 11 rows.  This swatch was measured unwashed, so no need to wash to achieve gauge. NOTE: I crochet very loosely, so my gauge may not match yours.  Make sure to use a hook that works for you!

Row 56 and 57 (RS): Sc across and on row 57, fasten off yarn.


Back Pieces:


For the back of the pillow you are going to make two rectangles of different size.  One of them will be slightly longer than the other, so that when we Sc it all together, they will overlap and that will secure your pillow insert.


Piece #1:


Chain 57. 


Row 1: In the third chain from hook, Hdc.  Then, Hdc in every chain across. 55 st.


Row 2: Ch 2, turn, then Hdc in each st across.


Rows 3-26: Repeat row 2.  Fasten off.


Piece #2:


Chain 57.  Work as for piece #1 but for only 18 rows and fasten off. 


Piecing together:


With the right side of the bobbles facing out, put piece #1 (longer piece) on the back and layer the shorter piece on top of that.  Attach your yarn to any corner, then single crochet through all layers of fabric all the way around the square until you get back to the beginning and all pieces are secured to each other.  In each corner, make 3 single crochets. Weave in ends, and you’re done!
