Hexagraph Floor Pillow Cushion Crochet Pattern

Hexagraph Floor Pillow in Noro Silk Garden Solo

What is Being Made

The Hexagraph Floor Pillow is an intermediate-level crochet cushion project designed to create a finished circular floor pillow with a diameter of approximately 36 inches (91 centimeters). This piece combines geometric hexagonal motifs to form an attractive decorative pillow suitable for living spaces, bedrooms, or any room requiring a large, comfortable cushion accent.

Crochet Techniques Used

This project employs fundamental crochet construction methods to build the pillow from individual motifs that are then joined together. The pattern utilizes slip stitch joining to connect rounds and motifs, creating a seamless integrated structure. Specific attention is given to proper joining technique, as the pattern notes that only one thread should be picked up when joining with a slip stitch to the second chain at the end of rounds 1 and 2. This precision ensures that subsequent double crochet stitches can be placed accurately in the same spot as the slip stitch from the previous round, maintaining pattern integrity and visual consistency.

Crochet Stitches Used

The Hexagraph Floor Pillow construction relies on essential crochet stitches including double crochet (dc) as a primary stitch for building height and structure within each motif. Slip stitches (sl st) are used for joining rounds and connecting individual hexagonal motifs together. Chain stitches (ch) form the foundation and turning chains throughout the pattern. Yarn overs are incorporated as part of the standard crochet stitch technique to create new loops and maintain proper stitch formation.

Materials and Tools

The Hexagraph Floor Pillow pattern calls for Noro Silk Garden Solo yarn in four coordinating colorways: 5 skeins of 50 grams each in colorway #08 (A), 4 skeins in colorway #33 (B), 4 skeins in colorway #40 (C), and 5 skeins in colorway #01 (D). This yarn selection provides a sophisticated color palette for the finished piece. A size US 7/4.5mm crochet hook is required to achieve the specified gauge of one motif measuring 4 inches (10 centimeters) in diameter. Additional materials include a 32-inch (81-centimeter) cushion insert to provide structure and comfort, and a yarn needle for weaving in ends and any finishing work. The gauge is critical for this project and should be checked carefully before beginning to ensure the finished pillow meets the intended dimensions.

Project Classification

This pattern is rated as intermediate difficulty, indicating it is suitable for crocheters with some experience beyond basic techniques. The intermediate classification reflects the need to work with multiple colors, join motifs accurately, and maintain consistent gauge across the project.
