This independently written planning companion uses US crochet terminology. The accompanying Reel is an AI-generated illustration, not a verified finished sample or a stitch tutorial. The complete pattern is not reproduced here. Find the official PDF on Yarnspirations by its exact name and code for executable instructions.
Read the material and size specifications
The Easy pattern specifies a 16-inch diameter, excluding the wraps, and a 16-inch round pillow form. The listed yarns are Bernat Blanket Floret, one 300 g/220 yd ball with 193 yd used; Dark Gray, one 150 g/108 yd ball with 6 yd used; and Bernat Blanket Extra Thick Vintage White, one 600 g/72 yd ball with 13 yd used. Small white worsted yarn highlights complete the eyes. The hook is 8 mm and the gauge is 7 single crochet and 8 rows per 4 inches.
Understand the construction
Two matching single-crochet circles are joined around the form. The cover reaches 90 stitches; the joining border includes six chain-one spaces that anchor the thick wrap yarn. Separate dark eyes with white highlights sit beneath the irregular white wraps.
Plan the eye opening
Lay the eyes and wrap yarn on the unjoined front first. Leave enough purple space for both eyes to remain readable after the cover is filled.
Check the circumference
Measure both circles flat and compare them before joining. A mismatch can pull the outer seam off center once the pillow form is inserted.
Keep the wraps separate
The thick white yarn is a finishing layer, not the yarn used for the round cover. Test its placement without tightening it enough to distort the circle. Treat this as a decorative cushion.
How to read the illustration
The illustration keeps the round lavender pillow, dark circular eyes with light highlights and crossing white wraps. Wrap placement and stitch scale are approximate. The white edge-work close-up is a generic crochet action, not the PDF method of threading thick yarn through the joining spaces. Use the official PDF for the complete construction and stitch sequence.
