Crochet Pillow Sham designed for a bed pillow with a back flap allowing for easily removing and re-inserting the pillow as needed. Uses the gorgeous crochet alpine stitch.
Crochet Pillow Sham
This crochet pillow cover is designed to fit a standard size bed pillow and is meant to be decorative. Coordinate your colors and crochet a gorgeous, textured crochet pillow sham to add your very personal touch to your home decor.
The pattern is easily customizable to fit your particular size pillows.
Crochet Alpine Stitch
The alpine stitch is known for it’s elegant finished look. Combined with the ombre yarn here the end result is just gorgeous. You can absolutely use a solid color as I did in the crochet pillow cover shown below.
I used the alpine stitch on an 18 x 18 decorative cushion cover in a gold, slightly shiny yarn. It looks SO unbelievably luxurious! The photo does not do it justice.
The crochet alpine stitch is made up of double crochets and front post double crochet stitches. Do not be intimidated by the front post double crochet. It is super easy! Watch the video below (on the YouTube platform please) for step by step directions.

BACK PANELS
You will work two separate panels; a longer panel and a shorter panel. Both panels have the same row count.
Large Panel
Ch 66 (no multiple needed; you may use any stitch count to fit your pillow)
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from the hook and in ea ch for 65 sc’s. Ch 1. Turn
Row 2 – 51: Sc in 1st sp and in ea sp. 65 sc’s. Ch 1. Turn.
At the end of the last row cut off yarn.
Small Panel
Ch 25
Follow pattern for the large panel working with 24 sc’s per row. Work the same number of rows.
ATTACH PANELS
Place panels right sides facing each other; wrong side facing you. The large back panel overlaps the small back panel by a few inches. Situate the panels so they fit properly over the front panel.
With yarn needle and length of yarn, seam along all four sides. Seam through the three layers when you reach those sections.
Turn pillow sham inside out. Insert pillow.
