Crochet these adorable balloon-like Alphabet & Letter Pillows by Yarnspirations. They are 13" tall and consistent across the entire alphabet pattern provided.
Letters A to Z are provided in the pattern. This allows you to choose initials that dare spell entire names in pillow format.
Free video course is added to the bottom of this article.

Updated March 2025 are new printable PDFS exclusively here on The Crochet Crowd. Mikey went through the diagrams and marked each letter and number when there was something to call your attention to.
New Diagrams Overview
You can print the letters and numbers you need. The original pattern is also available without the changes in the diagrams.
Each letter and number has a stitch key. Some letters and numbers require extra attention to build chains and create the letters in sequence. The letters are always built from bottom to top.
- The left leg of A is created first and then stopped at the end of the long chain.
- The right leg starts by picking up the chain, going across to the right leg, building up on the left, and stopping at the blue.
- The last section picks up on the right and goes to the top, crossing the previous section to finish.

I visualize these as learning resources for teaching children colours and the alphabet simultaneously. Imagine these hanging up in a classroom or lining the upper walls in a school for children to help them learn. I remember many classrooms I was in as a child where the letters and numbers were above the chalkboards to help me.

Daniel has made a mini booklet of all 26 letters in the alphabet, blown up to 1 letter per page. This will help you read the diagrams better. You can download this PDF booklet and/or print the letters you want specifically.

Madeline Cox says
Hi. I'm stuck already on the letter A. Right leg row two. How does that end? Is it 12 SC and chain 1? I thought the slant meant sc2tog but the crochet would then decrease where I would expect it to increase for the diagonal of the A. Thanks for any help. I can't wait till the video tutorials as I want to make it for a present for a birthday in May.
Thanks
Mikey, The Crochet Crowd says
It's 12 Chain... and then attach to Leg 1. YOu use that chain when passing back across.
Madeline says
Thank you for the reply. I'm still stuck. So I chain 12. Turn. 11 sc. Chain 1 then it's the next stitch I'm not sure of. I first learnt to crochet from your videos Mikey so I'm sure they will be fantastic when they are done. Thanks again. Madeline.
Melissa says
Do you happen to have a tutorial for the letter O. Thank you
Mikey says
No, I'm sorry. I just did the A as an example on learning how to read the diagram. I'm sorry.
