Free pattern: Giant Squishy Heart Pillow

A giant squishy soft heart pillow is the perfect way to show people you love them. Give a gift they will love year round… and will be reminded how much they are loved too.

Last year my first grand daughter was born 6 weeks premature and came home from the hospital close to Valentine’s Day. I wanted to make a giant heart mat for her newborn pictures. They were the perfect size and made a great heart pillow too.


I picked up some matching fleece at the store and added fringe around the edges. I really like how it turned out.

Giant Squishy Heart Pillow Directions

Want to purchase an ad-free, downloadable PDF of this pattern with all of the photos for only $2? Click HERE.

Instructions included for making a 24” heart mat, stuffed pillow, pillow with a place to hold pajamas and as a sack to hold a snuggie sack.

Materials and Details

  • Crochet Hooks: M/N 9mm
  • Miscellaneous: Yarn needle for weaving in ends,  stuffing, ½ yard fleece fabric (optional for edging)
  • Gauge: not needed for this project
  • Finished Measurements: 24” along edge

Tips

  • First stitch of each row is worked into the same stitch as the turning chain.
  • Numbers at the beginning of each line may refer to steps and not
    indicate number of rows.

Heart Options

See photos at bottom of page for sewing together all options.

Use the large hearts to make one of the of following:

Sack

This option uses 2 hearts.

This was designed to store a snuggie sack when not in use.

Stack the two hearts on top of each other. With matching yarn and a yarn needle sew the outer edges together, leaving one side of beginning squares unsewn.

Pillow

This option uses 2 hearts.

Stack the two hearts on top of each other. With matching yarn and a yarn needle sew the outer edges together, leaving one side of beginning squares unsewn. Stuff pillow and then use a yarn needle and matching yarn to sew the opening closed.

Pillow Plus PJ Holder

This option uses 3 hearts.

This was designed to be a pillow and store PJs.

Stack the three hearts on top of each other. With matching yarn and a yarn needle sew the outer edges together, leaving one side of beginning squares unsewn.

There are two compartments. One will be the pillow and the other is for storing PJs.

Stuff one compartment and then use a yarn needle and matching yarn to sew the opening of JUST THAT COMPARTMENT closed. Leave the other compartment open.

Tip: be careful to not over stuff the pillow section or PJs won’t fit in the second compartment. See photo at right. Top piece will pull away from edge if stuffed firmly.

Fleece Fringe: Cut 50 or more strips of fleece, 1.5” wide by 8” long. Fold each strand in half. Use a crochet hook to pull the center fold loop through a spot on the heart edge. Pull the ends through the center fold loop until loop is snug against heart. Continue around outer edge.

Do you carve or paint pumpkins? Please comment and let me know.

I love a lit pumpkin on the porch for trick or treaters 🎃 

My grand daughter and sil are both allergic to pumpkins so they paint theirs. A giant storm destroyed theirs so I carved them one to have out tonight (my daughter is going to light it). 
I made mine into a witch 🧙‍♀️
