Picky Pillow. Supports you when you crochet or knit.
The Picky Pillow pattern is now available. The pillow is designed to support you, when you crochet or knit - or just want to relax.

Picky Pillow. Supports you when you crochet or knit.

The Tunisian twisted stitch pattern is used and a full photo tutorial for this is included in the pattern, so all you have to know in advance, is the Tunisian simple stitch and how to do a regular single crochet.

NOTICE

For a limited time only, the pattern is available at an INTRODUCTION PRICE.

...AND if you buy it now, then make sure you are logged in, as you should then automatically get access to updates. You might be happy about that later on... hint, hint.

Buy the Pattern

The pattern is available in English (US terms) from Ravelry and LoveCrochet. It is also available in Danish, where it is called 'Pernitten Pude'. Find the Danish version at LoveCrochet and Ravelry.

About the Pattern

As usual you get a pattern with lots of photos and guidance helping you out.

Cro-hook

The main part of the pillow is worked in rows back and forward. You will need a cro-hook / double-ended hook for this. With or without cable. This also means that the length of your cro-hook doesn't matter much, as you don't have to do a full forward pass before you start a return pass.

The Tunisian Twisted Stitch Pattern

Inner Pillow

In the pattern I suggest using an inner pillow. This is optional as the stitches are tight enough to hold the filling in. Personally I think and inner pillow gives you a more expensive looking pillow, and it will of course also help the pillow stay in shape. So instructions for making an inner pillow are included. And it is NOT difficult to make one.

Adjustable

The pattern also includes instructions for adjusting the pillow size any way you want. So it can fit any inner pillow you have already or whatever you decide you need.

Testers

It has been quite a journey to make this pattern. No less than three testers have helped me out and once again, I'm surprised how much testing can improve a pattern. Thank you to Marjolein, Ewa and Karen!

Have you been told to hold your hook as a pencil or maybe as a knife? This might be wrong for you.

How to Hold Your Hook and Avoid Pain

Then, how to hold the hook? And how to avoid pain, if you want to crochet a lot?

Some Tunisian patterns are easy to do, when you work in rounds, while doing rows are considered impossible, or something that requires sewing in a lot of ends.


It's just not at all impossible. Nor do you need to cut the yarn and sew in ends all the time.

Here is a nice and easy-to-do Tunisian stitch pattern for you. It is one of my favorites and I rarely see other using it, which is a shame. Try it, you might love it too.

I also have a little workaround for you, that helps you close gaps in the left side of your work

I was asked about the washcloth / dishcloth I made for the slip stitch tutorial.

Color Stacking - Crochet

I used Color Stacking which is a member of the Planned Pooling family. A great way to have fun with colors. The tutorial here helps you with your first color stacking project.

Tunisian Crochet. Knit Stitch. Left side increase.
Learn how to make a nice Tunisian knit stitch increase at the left side (or right side, if you are left-handed).

I'm experimenting with mitered corners and have developed a way to do the left side increase without it being too tight and knotted.

Crochet: Bottle Decoration

Everybody brings a bottle of water at the fitness center or at a field trip. Some of the bottles look very much alike, and occasionally it can be difficult to find the right one.

Here is a pattern for a bottle decoration, that makes your bottle unique.
