Before you begin, you’ll need to decide which color combination you like best. Below is a chart with three examples, solid red heart, pixel shine heart, and a three color 3D heart.
Here is an example of one of the hearts with the pixels stitched up (before stuffing):
Part 1: The Pixel Squares
- Note: Please refer to the chart above to get the exact number of squares in each color you need for your pillow.
- Ch 4, join in the ch furthest chain from the hook with a slip stitch to create a ring.
- Round 1: Ch 4, then work (3 dc, 1 tr, 3 dc, 1 tr, 3 dc, 1 tr, 3 dc). Join to close round at the top of the starting chain with a slip stitch.
- Repeat for each square.
Assembly and Finishing:
- Arrange squares as shown in the chart above.
- Using tails of the squares and a tapestry needle, seam them together as shown, both front side and back side.
- Seam around the heart, leaving a small opening to stuff.
- Stuff the heart then seam closed.
- Shape a little as needed and weave in any remaining ends.
