Add a festive touch to your home with this cozy and delightful Christmas Wreath Bobble Stitch Pillow!
Perfect for the holiday season, this Christmas Wreath Bobble Stitch Pillow pattern features a beautiful wreath design created with the textured bobble stitch, giving it a three-dimensional look that will stand out on your couch or favorite chair. The pillow itself is crocheted with soft yarn, making it as comfortable as it is decorative.
This pattern is perfect for intermediate crocheters looking for a fun and seasonal project, though beginners can tackle it with patience and attention to detail. You’ll need to know how to make basic crochet stitches (like single and double crochet), along with the bobble stitch, which creates the beautifully raised texture.
Christmas Wreath Bobble Stitch Pillow Pattern Notes:
- This pattern uses the Intarsia Crochet technique that involves using multiple colors in a single row or round of crochet to create a specific design or pattern. The pattern is written out by row but you can also follow the graph for the color work.
- Each square represents an individual stitch – either a single crochet or bobble stitch.
- Beginning Ch-1s do not count as a stitch throughout the entire pattern.
- Bobbles are worked only on EVEN rows (wrong side of work) and are always worked in the contrast color. When bobbles are marked in the pattern, you are to follow the color change at the same time.
- For simplicity, you can bind off the CC after every even row and reattach at the next even row (this saves you from carrying the yarn in the back across 2 rows)
- Once the back and front panels are complete, we will edge the work with sc to ensure a clean seam when joining the seams together. You can increase the size of the work by increasing the edging. If you are working this up as a pillow cover you many need an additional round or 2 of edging to fit over your existing pillow (you may not need to do this if using a pillow form).
Tips on Changing Colors:
- Finish the Last Stitch with the Old Color:
- Work until there are two loops on the hook with the old color.
- Yarn Over with the New Color:
- Before completing the last stitch with the old color, yarn over with the new color.
- Pull Through Loops:
- Finish the last stitch by pulling through the last two loops with the new color.
- Secure the Old Color:
- Once you’ve changed colors, secure the yarn of the old color by either crocheting over the tail or by weaving it in later.
Skill Level:
Intermediate: For crocheters with some experience. More intricate stitches, shaping & finishing.

Bobble St: Yarn over, insert hook into stitch, yarn over and pull through (three loops on hook), yarn over and pull through 2 of the loops. Repeat the previous step four more times so that you have five not-quite-complete dc stitches worked into the same stitch. There will be six loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through all six loops. This closes your bobble crochet stitch.
