Line the front and back pillow pieces together and use stitch markers to hold it together and keep in line while you crochet in each stitch around. When you come to a corner piece add 2 sc to the top side and 2 into the side piece. 4 in total at each corner. Leave a gap so you can stuff your pillow then sc the remaining stitches.

Hi, this looks like the perfect gift for a friend that has everything. She’s so kind but has a little obsession with red trucks. I was wondering what the finished size pillow would be. I’d rather use an insert since she has asthma. But if I can’t find a form I’ll adjust.
Btw sorry if its written but I checked twice and didn’t notice a size.
I think it would be a perfect gift to. I’m sorry I see I didn’t add the sizing it’s 14×14.
She has not seen it but I’m sure she will love it! I can hear her breathy scream now!
I had to adjust both my hook size and yarn because Hobby Lobby is about 30 miles away from me. But finished size was 12×12. I could’ve added a border but I didn’t want it too big since it’s only for the holidays.
Anyways thanks so much for the hasty reply. pattern was a breeze to follow!
You are welcome. I hope she enjoyed it.
What is the yardage for the different colors? I didn’t see it in the pattern notes. Thank you!
I love this pattern and can’t wait to start! How many skeins of yarn do we need for each color? Thanks!
1 of each color should be fine.
I just finished mine. I still need practice, but not too bad for first try.
Do you carry the yarn on the back all the way thru? I see the black showing a little on the white stitches
I actually did it Both ways. But I like to carry in the back better because you don’t see it peaking through.
How do you carry it in the back. Mine keeps showing through. Thank you
Maybe I missed it but does the ch1 count as a stitch? Thanks
No it should not.
Just saw the pillow and pattern. So beautiful. Going to try and make this for my son, he loves the old truck. Thinking about making trucks all different colors and making into a blanket. Just great for next Christmas. Thank you.
Good Morning! Is there a link for the printable pattern so I can print it and take it with me when I have to wait somewhere? Thank you!
I haven’t added it yet but soon plan to on my Etsy account.
your graph pattern does not download the complete graph
It should.
I just found the red truck pattern and did it up last night. it comes out beautiful, thanks so much for sharing. now I need a blanket to match!
I was wondering where you got your lil yarn bobbins? Thank you for this pattern! My daughter is going to love ? this!
Merry Christmas!
Hobby lobby and you are very welcome.
Love your pattern. Thank you.
Thank you so much.
Can you make this into a lap afghan or afghan? Thanks!
I’ve seen some people create a blanket by using the graph as a c2c.
This is darling, and I’m a little red truck fan! Would you perhaps have this available in a knitting pattern? Thank you!
It may be something to add to my list.
I know it’s over a year old, but I just found your red truck pattern and can’t wait to make it. Thank you!
What does right and left refer to in this pattern. I guess I have confused myself. Sorry
you’re working from one side of the graph to the other side of the graph for each row. So, for example, say red one you would start on the left side row to you would start on the right side and you kind of keep repeating that throughout the pattern but follow what sides it tells you to do.
I would like to make a tree shirt with the truck on it…advise please
