Crochet Good Days Pillow – Crochet Pattern
Hey friends! Rachel from Cozy Nooks Designs here. I am a crochet designer, blogger, and newbie YouTuber. Today I am going to share with you a new intarsia crochet pattern – the Good Days Pillow!
During this uncertain time surrounding the world pandemic and the difficulties many are facing, I wanted to find a way to create encouragement for myself every day with a crochet home decor item. The Good Days Pillow was born as a reminder to continue to have hope even though times may be hard right now. I especially love the rainbow reminder as well. Rainbows are such a fun way to remember the good after a storm, and I love all that they symbolize.
I decided to create the pillow to have more of a boho, muted color vibe because this is the style I am currently crushing on. Plus, I am pregnant with my fourth baby (girl!), and I am hoping to decorate her nursery in this bohemian vibe.
The Good Days Pillow is considered an experienced intermediate pattern, but I have some YouTube and blog posts with different crochet techniques to aid you, so don’t be intimidated by it! These will be linked throughout the post.
I find that crochet colorwork is fun to work on because seeing the words take shape is so encouraging. I always find myself saying “one more row” to be able to see the word form. Plus, it makes it super fun to take progress pictures and have others guess what the words are going to say!
Alright, let’s get to the pattern!

Terminology
US Crochet Terms Used
- ch – chain
- st/sts – stitch/stitches
- sl st – slip stitch
- sc – single crochet
- MC – Main Color (Cream)
- CC1 – Contrast Color 1 (Black)
- CC2 – Contrast Color 2 (Tan)
- CC3 – Contrast Color 3 (Yellow)
- CC4 – Contrast Color 4 (Pink)
- CC5 – Contrast Color 5 (Purple)

Notes
- You will be making this from bottom up.
- When you are on the RS of the piece, you will be on an odd row; when you are on the WS, you will be on an even row.
- The ch 1 does not count as a st.
- You can carry the non-dominant color along when using the new color or you can make separate bobbins for each color, which is what I recommend. If carrying the color, gently tug the non-dominant color to minimize show-through and make sure to carry your non-dominant color on the WS.
- You need to be familiar with how to change colors using the “Yarn Under Technique”. The video below from my YouTube channel also describes this technique –
