This pattern is for a 40 x 40 cm pillow
The front piece is made of 24 triangles and 6 half-triangles.
The back is a square made of dc only.
Yarn: DK / 8 ply
Hook: 4 mm
Gauge: 9 dc = 5 cm
How to make a triangle:
On the start of every row you make a dc in the same st as you start with the 3 ch. You're increasing with one st on the start of every row.
Row 1: ch 4 (counts as 1 dc), dc 1 in first ch, turn [2 dc]
Row 2: ch 3 (counts as 1dc), dc 1 in same st as the ch (where the arrow points), dc 1, turn [3 dc]
Row 3: ch 3 (counts as 1dc), dc 1 in first st and every st on the row [4 dc]
Row 4: ch 3 (counts as 1dc), dc 1 in first st and every st on the row [5 dc]
Row 5-12: Continue the same way, increasing 1 dc in the start of each row, until you have 13 dc. Cut the yarn, leaving 25-30 cm tail for sewing the triangles together later.
How to make a half-triangle:
(You wil increase in every other row).
Row 1: ch 4, dc 1 in first ch, turn [2 dc]
Row 2: ch 3, dc 1 in same st as the ch, dc 1, turn [3 dc]
Row 3: ch 3, dc 1 in next st, dc 1 (where the arrow points), turn [3 dc]
Lay out the triangles in the pattern you like. Whip stitch together using the long tails.
The back is made of two pieces. One large with stripes and one smaller piece.
Row 1: Make a dc foundation row, and make 70 dc.
There you have it! A new pillow for your couch or favourite chair!
