Beach Glass Throw Pillow – A Free Crochet Pattern

Sometimes you just have to add a fresh look to your living space – why not start with a throw pillow?

I love the Caron Cotton Cakes – I love how soft they are, the variety of colours and their stitch definition.

Lately I have been loving the smooth texture of the puff stitch.  It is the half double crochet puff stitch that makes to the texture on the front of this throw pillow.  The back features a simple smooth texture.  The front and back are crocheted together using the reverse single crochet stitch which brings it all together.

Following the written instructions I have included a free video tutorial for the throw pillow.  While you are watching please subscribe to my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/RichTexturesCrochet/
