Crochet Polar Bear Pocket Pillow

Here is a sweet project you can make with your Polar Bear Applique: A Polar Bear Pocket Pillow! Yep, the pillow has a fun and functional pocket on the backside! A great place to keep a book for readers of any age! Plus I added tiny crochet hearts on the front of the pillow to make it perfect for Valentine’s gifting!

To make the pillow you will need to crochet 3 pieces. These are simple single crochet panels. One in turquoise and one gray that are the same size and then a 3rd panel that is half the size of the first two.

Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in Turqua, Light Gray, and Peach (for the hearts)
Shop these colors HERE on Yarnspirations.com
– Size H Crochet Hook
– 14 x 14 inch Pillow Form. Shop the Pillow Form HERE on Michaels.com
– Tapestry Needle

Large Pillow Panels: Make one in turquoise and one in gray
Chain 46, SC in second chain from hook and the rest of the way down chain, chain 1, turn
Row 2-50: SC in each stitch across, chain 1, turn (45 SC)
Fasten off and weave in ends at the end of row 50.
NOTE: depending on your tension or the slight difference in yarn, one panel may need a few more rows than the other. Line them up and make sure they are the same size.

Step 1: Stitch on your polar bear appliqué and the hearts (optional) to the front turquoise panel of the pillow.

Step 2: Stack your pillow panels. The front turquoise with the bear, then the gray panel, then the pocket panel.

Step 3: Single Crochet the panel edges together. I recommend starting at the bottom edge. Be sure to add in your pillow form before completely stitching it shut!
