Jessica Cooper The Celtic Stitch is the LAST Throw Pillow of the Textured Fun Squares. In case you missed it, I created the Textured Fun Square Sampler Blanket (shown below) in 2018. I decided to turn those squares in to matching Throw Pillows. There are 6 squares, so there will be 6 pillows.

- Waffle Stitch Throw Pillow
- Braided Cable Throw Pillow
- Basket Weave Throw Pillow
- Zig Zag Throw Pillow
The Celtic Stitch Throw Pillow Crochet Pattern is for an 18′ square pillow. It is made in 2 panels and crocheted together. I recommend to stuff with a throw pillow insert that is washable. Such as this one from Amazon. As it is crocheted together and will not be able to remove the inside pillow when washing. You can also use Poly-Fil and stuff using a pillowcase or fabric liner.

Pattern Notes
- Each Square Pattern is for an 18” square pillow insert, however each square will measure approximately 15” and will stretch to fit.
- Beginning stitch is made with a chainless starting double crochet (CSDC). This technique eliminates any chaining at the beginning of the row and looks just like a regular double crochet. If you prefer, you may replace it with a chain 3 to count as the first stitch.

Photos of Putting the Pillow Together
Photo 1: Place WS of Panels together. Join w/ Sl St and SC around working through both panels.
Photo 2: Work SC around completing 3 sides.
Photo 3: Insert Pillow and Close the last side.
Photo 4: Use stitch markers to hold the panels together before closing. The panels will be snug around the pillow to prevent a lot of slack in the sides or corners.
Photo 5: Close the top by continuing to single crochet across.
