Pattern Instructions

Part 1: Crocheting the Pillow Base

We’ll start by creating two identical pieces, then join them together.

  1. Foundation Round:
    • Make a magic circle (mc) and work 8 sc into it. Pull tight to close the circle.
  2. Increasing Rounds:
    • Round 2: Inc in each stitch around (16 sts).
    • Rounds 3-4: Sc in each stitch around (16 sts).
    • Round 5: (1 sc, inc) x8 (24 sts).
    • Continue increasing as follows:
      • Round 6: (2 sc, inc) x8 (32 sts).
      • Round 7: (3 sc, inc) x8 (40 sts).
      • Round 8: 2 sc, inc, (4 sc, inc) x7, 2 sc (48 sts).
      • Round 9: (5 sc, inc) x8 (56 sts).
  3. Color Change (Optional):
    • Switch to light pink yarn at the start of Round 10.
    • Round 10: 3 sc, inc, (6 sc, inc) x7, 3 sc (64 sts).
    • Continue increasing until Round 16: (12 sc, inc) x8 (112 sts).
  4. Body of the Pillow:
    • Rounds 17-27: Sc in each stitch around (112 sts).

Part 2: Joining the Pieces

  • Crochet two identical parts as above. Do not cut the yarn on the second piece.
  • Join the two parts by crocheting through 24 loops in the middle (exact method not detailed in the PDF, but typically this involves stitching or crocheting the edges together).

Part 3: Shaping the Pillow

  • Rounds 25-35: Sc in each stitch around (176 sts).
  • Begin decreasing to close the pillow:
    • Round 36: (20 sc, dec) x8 (168 sts).
    • Continue decreasing every round until:
      • Round 56: 8 dec, fasten off.
  • Stuff as you go, ensuring the pillow is firm but not overstuffed.

Finishing Touches

  • Use a needle join to fasten off the yarn securely.
  • Weave in all loose ends for a polished look.

Tips for Beginners

  1. Stitch Markers: Mark the start of each round to keep track.
  2. Stuffing: Add stuffing gradually to avoid lumps or gaps.
  3. Tension: Keep your stitches snug but not too tight—this helps the pillow hold its shape

Final Thoughts

This Female Breast Pillow is more than just a crochet project—it’s a gesture of love, comfort, and care. Whether you’re making it for yourself or someone special, I hope it brings as much joy to your heart as it does to your hands.
