16 of the Best Round Crochet Pillow Patterns Round Up

16 Circular Crochet Pillow Patterns to Make Over Your Space

Hi guys! Here you’ll find a collection of beautiful and trendy circular crochet pillow patterns. Pillows are a great way to add warmth, colour, and personality to your space. Nothing makes a space more “homey” than pillows.

Traditional square and rectangular throw pillows are great, but there is something fun about a round pillow. Most of these patterns use textured crochet stitches, like the puff stitch, bobble stitch, and post stitches, while others focus on colour work. I hope you find one (or more) patterns that speak to you.

How to Pin Your Favourite Circular Crochet Pillow Patterns

To pin the circular crochet pillow patterns you love, I created a Pinterest Board that includes a pin for each pattern in this round-up. Click the button below to explore this Pinterest Board, and start pinning your favourites – these pins all lead to the original pattern source.

*Note: If you pin directly from this page, your pin will lead you back here, instead of to the original pattern.

Make Your Own Circular Pillow Insert:

Did you know that you can make your own circular pillow insert from a square or rectangle insert, instead of buying one? My friend Kay shared this hack with me, and I was mind blown.

2 Tutorials for Making your Own Pillow Insert:

While I was putting this round-up together, I came across two tutorials for transforming a square/rectangular pillow form into a round one.

  • The first is a written tutorial by Lilla Bjorn that includes step-by-step pictures. She shows you how to change a square pillow into a round insert, without using a sewing machine. She hand stitches the pillow form using the blanket stitch, to create a secure seam.
  • The second tutorial is a video tutorial by Sustain My Craft Habit. In this tutorial, she shows you how to change a rectangular pillow insert into a circular one, using a sewing machine.
