What Yarn Should I Use for a Crochet Throw Pillow? This is a chunky crochet throw pillow pattern uses a size 5 (bulky) weight yarn called Simply Wool Bulky from WeCrochet. This is a natural yarn that gives great definition to the cables and is an absolute pleasure to use. If you would prefer to utilize an alternate yarn, choose a smoothe yarn with which you can match the pattern gauge given. If you don’t care about the size of your throw pillow, you can use any smoothe yarn you’d like and use polyfill stuffing to stuff your pillow rather than using a pillow form like I did.<br><br><br><br>I also recommend using a solid coloured yarn over a variegated yarn since the cables can get lost when there is a ton of colour happening. Can I Use a Fuzzy Yarn To Crochet a Cable Stitch Pillow? You could, but I wouldn’t recommend it. Why? Because any sort of fuzz or halo on your yarn could make the cables harder to see. If you want to use a fuzzier yarn, do a gauge swatch to see if you like the look before proceeding. This crochet throw pillow is made in two cable stitch panels and then sewn together. I designed this pillow so that all cable stitch rows are done on the right side of the fabric (the one facing you) so you only have to worry about doing front post double crochet stitches. This makes doing cables much easier since you aren’t having to switch between front post and back post double crochets which can be confusing. Every other row is done in single crochet stitch so get a break from doing the cabling every other row.<br><br><br><br>This is my absolute favourite way to do cable stitches now and I hope you will love it as much as I do.
