This crochet menorah pillow pattern is one of the most stunning Hanukkah crochet projects you can make — a beautifully textured menorah design worked in the bobble stitch, set against a soft blue background that captures the warm, glowing spirit of the Festival of Lights. 🕎

The raised bobble stitch creates a three-dimensional menorah that looks far more intricate than it actually is to make. Worked using intarsia colorwork in classic blue, grey, white, and gold, this pillow makes a meaningful piece of handmade Hanukkah decor that you’ll display year after year — or gift to someone who’ll do the same.

It’s part of my Hanukkah Bobble Stitch Pillow Set — a coordinated collection of three pillows (Menorah, Dreidel, and Star of David) that work together as a beautiful matching display.
