Looking for a modern twist on the traditional Granny Square motif? Look no further than the Gears are Turning Pillow, a free crochet pattern by Lee Sartori of CoCo Crochet Lee. Square motifs that resemble flowers reveal a gear shape when you take a closer look; just combine the squares to make a cute pillow with a geeky twist!
About the pattern: A stylish, modular pillow pattern that really gets the gears turning! This pattern uses basic crochet stitches to create square motifs that are then seamed together to build a pillow cover. Three colors of Wander yarn in your favorite colors combine to make a unique home decor accent to complement your interior design.
The Gears Are Turning Pillow is a fun, modular crochet pattern that starts from the center out, with a textured swirl. The square then turns into a motif of a gear winding around the square crocheted with the 2nd yarn color. This pattern is so fun to make as there is no actual colorwork involved! Each round is its own color.
Supplies:
-
Wander Yarn: 6 skeins total. (Sample uses 1 ball Thatch, 3 Balls Alabaster, 2 Balls Abyss.)
- Furls Crochet Hook, size 4.00 mm (Lee used an Aura Streamline Metal)
