Crochet an awesome summer pillow to decorate your couch, chair or patio with these six amazing free crochet pillow patterns!

“Live in the sunshine, swim in the sea, drink the wild air.”

Ralph Waldo Emerson

What could be better than lazing around the porch on a hot summer day with an ice-cold drink?

Why, lazing around the porch on a hot summer day with an ice-cold drink lying on a handmade crochet summer pillow, of course! Pillows are such a fun make in the summer months, so I thought I would share with you some amazing summer-themed pillow patterns that I have seen throughout my Pinterest journeys. There are so many vibrant and fun summer pillow patterns out there that it was hard to pick just a few! Not only are they a fun and quick make, but they add such a fun vibe to the space they are in!

If you need a quick project to work on, pillows are good go-to item! Many of them are worked from graphs, and I just love working from a graph. I feel like watching the design come to life makes the process so fun and rewarding. It’s addicting because I always want to do just one more row to see what it looks like, and of course, time flies when you are having fun!

Having a pillow on the patio furniture just gives the backyard that relaxing vibe. There is nothing like relaxing in the sun with a good stack of pillows to lounge on. I made sure that I chose the very summer-est summery pillow designs that I could find for this round up so that you can fill your summer with…

…good times and relaxing vibes!

Plush Pineapple Pillow

This fun Pineapple Pillow cover designed right here at A Plush Pineapple incorporates C2C (corner-to-corner) crochet and some fun color work to add some tropical fun to any decor! It would look great on a patio bench or sun room chair! The pattern even comes with two different options, variegated or solid!

Crafty Cactus Pillow

The adorable Crafty Cactus Pillow by Ashley at A Crafty Concept is full of fun texture! It would make a great addition to a cactus-themed room or your favorite sitting chair. The flower can be made in a variety of different colors to match any decor!

Crochet Love Pillow Cover

I absolutely LOVE this Crochet LOVE Pillow cover by Maria of Maria’s Blue Crayon! I especially adore how she made this one with variegated yarn against a white background. It screams summer to me and would look great in a teen girl’s bedroom or on a porch swing!

Crazy Plant Lady Pillow

Ok, I just adore this Crazy Plant Lady Pillow cover by Crafting for Weeks! I feel like this pillow is a goal for me. I have never been good with plants, but I always have a desire to buy them and care for them. Unfortunately, they don’t usually last a very long time, but I am working on that! Oh! and rumor has it that she has other modifications of this pattern. I’ve heard cat lady and yarn lady to name a few.

4th of July Heart Sprinkle Pillow

This 4th of July Pillow cover by Krystle of Heartsprinkle is so perfect for summer! I just love how she used the stitching to create little hearts. She made hers in patriotic colors, but I think it would also look cute in a variety of color combos!

Sunshine Crochet Pillow Case

This Sunshine Pillow Cushion by Nihal of Topknotch Crochet is one of the best things I have seen! My famous line is “much love, sunshine, and pineapples,” so naturally, I had to include a sunshine pillow pattern in this roundup. I’m loving how she used poms poms around the edge! I can see a whole matching pillow combo of these on my couch for summer!


A pillow filled with summer goodness makes for a summer filled with happiness!
