Wiggle Crochet - Heart Pillow

I've recently discovered wiggle crochet.  It is this fantastic method where you crochet a grid and then crochet multiple stitches in each grid bar.  The effect is that you get this great wavy pattern.  The patterns are endless.

I got it in my head that I was going to design a heart pillow.  I created a 17x17 grid and used a spreadsheet document to plan out my pillow.  I'm so pleased with the results! I finished it the other day and it was destined to be my coworker's wedding gift.

I just love the colors.  I used a lovely red in Red Heart Soft yarn and charcoal grey in Vanna's Choice.

Aren't the wiggles/waves gorgeous?

The back is wonderful too.  I used a granny square pattern I discovered on Ravelry that alternates FPDC and DC to create this great cabled look.
I'm so proud of my pillow!

  2. Oh, thank you! I free handed most of it. I tried to keep track initially, but I found myself watching too much television. :) I may try to make another one and come up with the pattern.

  3. Haha, I do that so often!! If you find yourself in the mood I would love a pattern but don't stress about it. I'll probably just start playing around with "wiggle crochet" and see what I come up with. It's very very cute! You did a great job!

  5. How big was your grid (no. of squares) for the cushion? Did you use double crochet or treble for the grid?

    1. Hi, Neetika, I used a 17x17 grid. It was created with double crochets.
