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.

Can’t thank you enough for the blown up pages. I have tried to blow them up myself from the website and couldn’t get them to come out this good. Needless to say it’s a sight for sore ole eyes. Thank you thank you thank you!!

I’ve just started to crochet but love a challenge, after almost completing a blanket I found these and have started making my daughters name. I’m trying to do the ‘P’, but am struggling with rows 19 and 20 and the slip stitch there. Do I chain the 16, complete row 19 and then row 20 and add the slip stitch at some point there or do I do the slip stitch at a different point? None of the other letters contain a slip stitch where you don’t add another piece of yarn.
Thank you in advance!

I’m really stuck on the C it’s not making sense to me. I know there are general videos but is there a video for a C.
