The stripes yarn worked perfectly for these half and half color corner-to-corner squares. So I would start with the white and then switch to the dark blue part of the yarn for the second half of the C2C square. You will have to clip off and re-attach but the ball of yarn was just about the right amount to make these squares one at a time!
Materials:
– One ball of Bernat Maker Outdoor yarn in Stripes and Coordinating ball of solid yarn.
– Size J Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle
– 12 x 12 weather resistant pillow insert – like THIS one (amazon affiliate)
Here is the pixel graph you should follow. I made 4 half color squares using the Bernat Maker Outdoor stripes yarn and the corner-to-corner crochet method.
Once I made 4 of them I arranged them in different layouts. Thanks for all your votes on social media. You really can’t go wrong with any of these!
Ultimately I decided on version #1… and I am going to admit that I am kinda regretting this decision LOL! I think I should have gone for more intricate pattern like 2, 4, or 5.
I joined the squares using yarn and my tapestry needle. Be careful when weaving in your ends! Unlike worsted weight yarn where you can weave the ends through the 4-ply fibers, you have to work around the tubular strands of this yarn.
I made a backing for my pillow – just a solid blue C2C square that is 14 x14 pixels.
Here is the graph:
SC around the edges of both pieces and then SC them together. I only made SC stitches in the back loops of the edge stitches.
Stuff with a water resistant pillow! SC closed.
Thanks to JOANN stores for letting me try out this all new one-of-a-kind yarn! If you make something using Bernat Maker Outdoor please be sure to use the hashtags #Bernat #BernatMakerOutdoor and #JOANNstores on social media!

Beautiful and handsome, I love it
Good to know this exists. I’ve seen a pattern for a mandala on a hula hoop and I was looking for some type of yarn that would work outdoors (I’d like to hang it from a tree).
What stitch did youuse?looks great
i was so excited when i read the start of the post, I need some outdoor cushions for my swing… then I read that the yarn is only available at Joann’s. :0(( not everyone lives in America. Hopefully they’ll find a UK stockist.

Gorgeous pillow! I’ll have to go out and get a couple of balls to re-cover my current patio cushions! Thanks for the info!
really liked the design…
How are the pillows holding up? Have they gotten wet?
Did you find it wanted to stretch as you worked with it? I really love the yarn and it works up quickly. I started with a 24 x 24. After 3 rows I have a 29 x 29.
These look so attractive for decoration and useful thing for home i saw the Homepage where lots of expensive material sales for good.
