Double Dutch Pillow Crochet Pattern

April 17, 2018

Crochet decor! Need I say more? The Double Dutch Pillow would look beautiful on any couch, bed or anywhere you want to put it really. You can customize the pillow in any color combination and create the theme you are looking for. I used a purple and cream and I love the striped look of the two together, it has an elegant look to it! Another thing that is fabulous about the Double Dutch Pillow is that it uses basic crochet stitches to create this beautiful texture!
