Hey, it’s Leah here. If you’re new to me, know I’m the solo act behind @the.craftyyogi on Instagram. I love the craft and D-I-Y life, “it chose me.” I’m passionate about crochet, recently learned to knit, and I have goals of incorporating sewing into my future projects.
For me, handmade items spark joy, inspiration, and can be enjoyed by many for years to come. Ok, so now we’ve gotten more acquainted, lets get into this project!
We all like FREE patterns, right? I know I do. I’m excited for another collab with Clover to bring you this modern crochet pillow pattern. I love interior design, home decor, and adding my own special touch to a space. This pattern will help you do just that in your home, office, or any space needing a simple refresh of sorts. It’s amazing what a pillow or two can do to elevate any seating area.
