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.

For the letter G, when you say drop a stitch, do you mean decrease or drop a stitch a row down? Sorry I'm new to doing this type of pattern ?
Amanda Judge says
Hello,
I was wondering if you where going to do all the letter. If so where can I find the videos on them.
Jeanne - The Crochet Crowd says
Mikey had too many complaints, so he will not be doing any further videos of the letters.
Su Marks says
Hi Mikey,
I am left handed, so how can I do these pillows. Please advise, as a bit of a novice and have used only written out row by row patterns, not symbols, so feeling anxious before I start.
Thanks in advance for any advice and guidance.
Su.
