Cozy Cabled Crochet Pillow
You’ve just finished decorating your living room and you’ve been searching around the marketplace for some accent pillows but you can’t seem to find the right color. Or your friend has moved into their new home and you want to gift them something meaningful that screams sophistication. This cabled crochet pillow is just what you need!
Make this pattern in a nice neutral shade so that you can use it all year round as you change the decor for every holiday and season. Or crochet it up in a bolder, brighter color to add pops of vibrance in any space. The choice is yours when it comes to handmade.
You’ll find the cabled crochet pillow pattern free below, or you can find an ad-free printable PDF (including all photo tutorials) on Ravelry, or on Etsy (aff).
There are two types of cables featured in this cabled crochet pillow with thicker cables on the sides and thinner, more intricate ones in the center. This allows you to practice placement and see how to achieve different results from similar stitches and techniques. Once you master this, you’ll be able to use them as you like in projects of your own design.

How to Crochet a Cable Pillow
Crochet cables are one of many fun ways to add texture and design to a crochet pillow. Cable designs range from very basic crochet cables that only move upward, to more intricate cable designs that move inward and outward as they move upward.
Many crocheters are intimidated by cable stitches at first, but after working a few rows, they soon discover that they’re easier than they thought!
I would classify this cabled crochet pillow pattern as an intermediate cable design.
It is made with two panels, one cabled panel for the front and one solid panel for the back. Each panel is crocheted back and forth in rows and a single crochet edging is added to make them easier to seam together.
After both panels are made, you’ll join them together with a slip stitch. While joining the cabled and solid panels together, you’ll insert the pillow form and then complete the slip stitch seam to secure it.

Yarn
For the Cozy Cabled Crochet Pillow Pattern, I chose Lion Brand Yarns Wool Ease Worsted in Fisherman. I could have used a gradient yarn, but knew that the definition of the crochet cables would get lost in the color changes of the yarn. That’s why I ended up with this pristine shade.
This yarn is machine-washable and highly-durable, ideal for cushions that have to sit out a lot. It is also readily available in a variety of colors and if you have some shades in your stash already, this is a great project to use them up. The fiber content of this yarn makes it hold its shape well, which is important for cabled crochet patterns.
Every day during March, a new, permanently free crochet pattern will be released. The PDF version of the pattern will also be available for free download through 10am Eastern on the day after it is featured. You can make these projects to keep, for gifts, or to donate to charity while chatting with other crocheters and sharing your projects to win giveaway prizes!

- Yardage & Color:
- Fisherman: #620-099 (6 balls / 920 yards)
- Please Read the “Important Notes” below before beginning. These notes go over how the stitches are worked in this pillow so that the cables move horizontally outward and inward.
- Choosing Pillow Inserts: This pattern was designed to fit both a 14″ and 16″ pillow form. If you prefer a looser fitting pillow cover, choose a 14″ pillow form. If you prefer a tighter fitting pillow cover, choose a 16″ pillow form.
- Construction Notes: This cabled crochet pillow is made with two panels, one cabled panel and one solid panel. Each panel is crocheted back and forth in rows and a single crochet edging is added. After both panels are made you’ll join them together with a slip stitch. While joining the cabled and solid panels together, you’ll insert the pillow form and then complete the slip stitch seam.
Important Notes
Keep these notes in mind while working your cabled pillow. They will help you with proper stitch placement, especially when your cables are moving horizontally, outward and inward.
- Unwritten Rule of Post Stitches: When working post stitches, you always skip over the top loops of 1 stitch behind each post stitch. If you do not skip over those top loops, you’ll end up increasing your overall stitch count. **I believe that most of us do this without even thinking about it, but when it comes to using the post stitches to create cables that move, we forget about that little tidbit.
- Pay REALLY close attention to wording, it is very literal. The pattern always says “fpXX around next post st“. Except for Row 2 (which is the first row of post sts) you will work EVERY post st around a post st from the previous row (not around an ext sc). In short, make sure to work EVERY post st from Row 3 or later, around the post of a post st from the previous row and your cables will be where they need to be.
- To achieve proper movement of cables, you may be working into BOTH the top loops of a post stitch and around it. Watch wording carefully and make sure to always skip the top loops of 1 stitch behind every post st.
- To maintain cable movement and stitch count, there are also times when you will not be working into an ext sc. Count stitches and pay special attention to wording.

Pillow Assembly
Step 1: Lay the two panels on top of one another. Make sure to line up the first and last rows of each panel. Use locking stitch markers to hold the panels together at each corner.
Step 2: Hold the panels so that the cabled panel is facing you, with yarn & a 3.50mm crochet hook, join yarn in any corner stitch with a slip stitch, then slip stitch (surface crochet) in each stitch around three of the sides of the crochet pillow cover, making sure to work through both layers. Do not fasten off.
Step 3: Insert the pillow form into the pillow cover, or stuff with Poly-fil. Continue to slip stitch along the last side of the panels.
Fasten off. Weave in ends.
A cabled crochet pillow is more than just a comfy backrest; it’s a piece of art that adds personality and warmth to your home. Whether you’re making one yourself or purchasing a handmade creation, these cushions are an investment in comfort and style!
