This crochet mini pillow is made from two crocheted panels joined together. The front panel is embellished with crochet lavender flowers and small craft bee buttons. I used my previously designed lavender pattern for this project.

Instructions:
To make this lavender mini pillow, we will need to crochet two panels. Then, we will embellish the front panel with crochet lavender appliques and small craft bee buttons. You can either sew on appliques and buttons, or use a hot glue gun to attach them. Finally, we will join the panels together.

The instructions and video tutorial have been published in this post: lavender applique crochet pattern.
Decorating front panel
1. With a sewing needle and matching sewing thread, sew lavender applique onto the front panel of the pillow.
2. With a sewing needle and matching sewing threads, sew on small bee buttons.
As an alternative to sewing, you can use a hot glue gun to attach lavender appliques and bee buttons. If the bee buttons have shanks, remove them with a craft cutter.
Assembling
Hold two panels together and with color B, single crochet around all four sides, working 3 SC in each corner. Leave 2” open at the end, add a small amount of stuffing (do not overstuff!), and single crochet to close. Fasten off and weave in the ends.
I hope you enjoyed this lavender mini pillow free crochet pattern!
