Magnolia Bobble Crochet Pillow

Do you watch the HGTV show Fixer Upper?

If you don’t, leave this post and go watch an episode. I promise you’ll fall in love with Chip & Joanna in just one episode. They’re that awesome.

Their brand is called Magnolia (homes, bakery, market, etc). Online, they have a store called Magnolia Market. There you’ll find all of Joanna’s favorite throws, vases, jewelry, and PILLOWS.

I was browsing the Magnolia Market website when I came upon this…

HELLO BEAUTIFUL!

I instantly thought, I have to crochet a version of that. Like now.

I’d been wracking my brain lately with what to make with the new Lion Brand New Basic 175 yarn (it’s seriously like a cloudy squishy ball of yummy yarn) and I could see it in my head – a squishy bobble pillow just like the Magnolia one!

I wanted a smaller version of Joanna’s pillow with a bit simpler design. And I had to make the back fun too. Because that’s just what I do.

I hope you all enjoy this Magnolia Bobble Pillow, it’s got that perfect farmhouse look that is so typical of the Gaines’! And if you haven’t tried the New Basic 175 yarn, you need to get your hands on it. Check it out here on LionBrand.com!

You can also grab the kit to make this pillow, including all the yarn you need from Lion Brand – it’s actually on sale now for 20% off the retail price! Get your kit HERE.

Once dry, use a tapestry needle and whip stitch around the perimeter of the blocks. Before you finish the last side, insert the pillow form and finish stitching up. Weave all ends.
