Beaded Granny Pillow

"If you love adding color and texture to your home, this crochet beaded pillow cover pattern is such a fun project to make. Using a classic granny square design and bold color changes every two rounds, this pillow works up into a beautiful statement piece that looks far more complicated than it actually is. This pattern is made with worsted weight cotton yarn (I used I Love This Cotton), which gives it great structure and durability—perfect for everyday use on a couch, chair, or bed. The beaded edging adds a subtle decorative detail that elevates the finished look while still keeping the project beginner-friendly. Each pillow is made from two large granny squares that grow evenly over 18 rounds, with a simple repeating stitch pattern that’s easy to relax into. The color sequence creates a modern striped effect, but you can easily customize it with your own favorite palette to match your space. This pattern is a great option if you’re looking for a quick home décor project that uses basic stitches and creates a polished, high-end result."
