I’m back with a new soft crochet pillow pattern! After my previous pillows that you really liked, here is the one from Bow pillow 🎀
It will be perfect to add a cute touch to the decoration of your living room or bedroom.
If you would like other cute patterns, there are plenty available on my site!
I share this crochet pattern of the Bow pillow for free below and also in PDF format on my shop if you want to keep it with you!
🎀 Inspiration 🎀
I wanted to continue my collection of crochet pillows that I like so much adding as decoration on my bed. You can find my other pillows here:
– Starfish pillow
– Heart pillow
– Moon pillow
If you’re interested in interior design, you may have seen a lot of shops that also offer bow pillows. This is the new current trend. I wanted to create one myself that would be even cuter than what I saw and softer, of course with chenille yarn 🥰
I love adding little bows to my patterns for that kawaii touch I like so much but I didn’t have any in the XXL version yet so now it’s done.

(to be done with the color of your choice and work in closed rows)
We will make two strips according to the process below:
R1: CH 43
R2: CH 1, from the 2nd stitch of the row, make 1 hdc. Continue with hdc on the entire row (43)
R3 to R19: CH 1, turn, hdc in each hdc (43) (17 rows)
-> Fasten off and weave in ends for one strip.
-> Keep the yarn for the 2nd strip for the joining of the two strips.

Assembly of the two strips
-> Superimpose the two strips on top of each other in a parallel way.
-> Make CH 1 on the strip where we had stopped and insert the hook into a stitch of the 2 strips to make 1 sc (we start to join one of the smaller sides). Place a stitch marker in this first stitch.
-> Continue to join the 2 strips on this side with another 18 sc (this corresponds to the height of the 19 rows of hdc of the strips).

-> Arrived at the corner, make CH 1.
-> Continue to join the two strips on this second side with 43 sc.
-> Again, CH 1, and make 19 sc on the third side. Start stuffing.
-> CH 1 and make 43 sc on the 4th side. Before closing completely, finish to stuff by levelling out the pstuffing on both sides of the bow and putting a little less in the middle.
-> Finish with CH 1 and 1 SlSt in the first stitch of the join row.
-> Fasten off and weave in ends.
-> Tap the pillow to distribute the stuffing and keep a “flat” effect.
-> Cut a good length of yarn and run it several times around the center and tighten tightly.
-> Make a double knot with this yarn.

🎀 The middle of the bow
(to be done with the color of your choice and work in closed rows)
For this strip, adapt the starting number of stitches of R1 according to the width of the center of your bow. It has to be tight enough to have a nice finish.
R1: CH 30
R2: CH 1, from the 2nd stitch of the row, make 1 hdc. Continue with hdc on the entire row dbr (30)
R3 to R8: CH 1, turn, hdc in each hdc (30) (7 rows)
-> Fasten off by keeping a good length of yarn.
🩷 Assembly and finishes 🩷
-> Wrap the middle strip around the bow at its center and sew on the back.
-> For the finishes and so that it does not move, also pass the yarn several times into the pillow before fasten off and weave in ends.
-> Weave in ends by securing.
-> If you don’t have the “folds” of the bow at the front like in the photo, form them manually.
