Crochet pattern to make large stuffed animal pillows. The Pillow Pals are huggable and cute.

Included are instructions for a piggy, puppy, bear, owl, ducky, froggy, kitten and bunny.

What skills are you going to need and what will you get

The Pillow Pals are easy to make but a basic knowledge of crochet is required.

Size information

The ones shown in the photos are 14 inches/ 35 cm high.

You can make your Pillow Pals bigger or smaller, without changing the pattern. The size of the Pillow Pals depends on the size of your crochet hook, thickness of yarn and how you stuff them. A bigger hook and thicker yarn make a bigger animal. A pillow stuffed tightly is bigger than a loosely stuffed pillow.

Required materials

I used No 5 yarn (Chunky, Craft, Rug) and a 6mm hook (US 10/J, UK 4).
