Crochet Pattern: Chair Cushion
By Rachel Choi – 26 Comments| This chair cushion crochet pattern is free for all to crochet! To make your chair cushion you will need to work each of the small squares separately. The squares are then stuffed and sewn together. You can make the cushion as firm or soft as you desire. Best of all, you can adjust the size of the cushion by adding more or less rows of squares as you see fit. Prior experience sewing crochet pieces together is a plus. |  |

THANK YOU– I didn’t realize I needed this until I saw it here!!!
I’ve need one forever but never thought about crocheting it! I’m getting right on it! thank you so much! I have no imagination 🙂
Ditto to Maria. How do you come up with such great ideas? Can’t wait to make this!
Wow! You are amazing! I never thoght of making something like this until now. My mom and I went shopping for these and she couldn’t find any to her liking. But these are cool-I can make them for her and customize them to match her dining and “bottom” comfort. Thank You.
love it.. I’ve been meaning to buy one. but this looks like it’ll be so much fun.. maybe a checkerboard pattern
Rachel…I can’t see the pillow! It’s too dark.
It is really dark green, but shows up really well if you try lightening up your screen brightness. Or, if you have a laptop, tilt the screen.
Great thinking!
I will definitely try this pattern…
Thank you SO much for this pattern! My grandmother sits on a cushion in her car because she doesn’t like the seats and this will be a perfect gift to make for her! Thank you again 🙂
Thanks, Rachel! I just bought a new car, and the seat makes my bottom hurt if I sit in it on long trips. I was going to buy a cushion, but now I’ll just make one!
I love this. can’t wait to make it!
Love this. need to make one for this desk chair I am sitting in. It would be so nice.
Rachel, I have sewn crocheted pieces together, but I have no idea if I am doing it the best (or correct) way. I haven’t found instructions on your site. Do you have any? Thanks so much for all your help.
Here’s a link to some basic sewing instructions: How to Whip Stitch in Crochet (you can also use this techniques for sewing this chair cushion)
I`d love to try to make it:) Thanks for the idea!
The cushion is black, so I cannot see any detail. Am I the only one?
I love all your patterns and I’m sure this one is great, but sure would like seeing what it looks like.
Thanks,
Chris
I accidently bumped into your website and found this cute chair pad pattern……thank you so very much for sharing…cannot wait to finish my chair pad!!!
Just found this pattern while looking for a foot stool pad to make as a gift for my mom – can’t wait to start making it.
These look really comfy….are they washable too?
Sure, you can wash them Laura. Just be sure to crochet it with a washable yarn.
I guess I don’t exactly understand how a square is made in one piece.
Thanks
MaryLee
Hi MaryLee, try taking a look at the “work into remaining loops on opposite side of ch” tutorial that’s linked in round 1. That may help explain how each square is made.
Oh, Thanks. I had looked at the tutorial, but it wasn’t clear. NOW it is!
>^,,^<~
I have a captains chair. Is there any way to modify this so that the back is thinner than the front?
Hi Lee,
Yes, you can fill/stuff each square differently. You can purposely fill the back squares with less filling than the ones in the front.
Love this pattern. Exactly what I have been looking for. Thanks for sharing it!!!
