Daffodil C2C Pillow Crochet Pattern – Free Chart
The Daffodil C2C Pillow crochet pattern is perfect for any flower lover! It uses the Corner to Corner technique to create a beautiful colorwork crochet pillow.
Daffodils are one of my favorite flowers!
They bloom in March, and are one of my first signals that spring is coming. When I see those yellow blooms popping up all over the neighborhood, my heart get so excited for warmer weather and pretty blossoms. I also think that they are one of the most beautiful, yet funny-looking flowers, they remind me of a giraffe. Such elegance, beauty, and quirkiness. Haha!

Corner-to-Corner or C2C:
You’ll be using hdc C2C crochet techniques to create the square. You’ll need to know how to do the hdc C2C crochet stitch, made from half double crochets, chains, and slip stitches. Click here for my blog post on this technique, which includes a video tutorial a well. The traditional C2C stitch consists of a ch 2 + 3 dc to form one C2C pixel, and each increase is ch 6 + 3 dc. To make my blanket a more manageable size, I used ch 2 and 3 hdc for each pixel, where each increase was ch 5 + 3 hdc.
This design also includes color changes. You can do these by either carrying the colors, or by creating yarn bobbins that you join to the square as you need a different yarn color. If you don’t know how do to color changes, watch this clip of my video about working up the Nordic Star square.

The Yarn: Worsted
WeCrochet Brava Worsted 100% acryllic) or other light worsted yarn in four colors.
This pillow was designed in 4 colors., but you can choose whatever colors you want!
Get creative! I won’t get offended if you take creative liberties on the color scheme. Be sure to share pictures in my FB group so we can see what you come up with!
The Hook: 6mm
I used a J/6.00 mm hook to make my square.
I love this Cookie Streamline Swirl from Furls Crochet. This hook feels so good in my hands and the yarn slides easily across the hook. If you have never tried a Furls hook, I suggest you head on over to their website and order one now.
