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.

Original Booklet from 2016
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.
This booklet was made possible with the help of Yarnspirations. You can only find this booklet here in this article to download.

Morgan Brown says
Thank you for getting back to me.
So, how do make row 1 with 2 builder chains?
Because, when I drop the loop on the end of row one, I put the new string in the 1st sc of row 1 chain 3 fasten off. Because then you'll need another 3 builder chains on the left side in order to complete row two. So, I'm mostly confused on how complete the first rows with builder chains to complete on both sides.

I'm very confused by the letter J. It doesn't explain the builder chains and how to attach and continue the row from one to two. Could you explain this better or do a tutorial for how to start?
Jeanne says
Here is a link for the letter J.
Morgan Brown says
I've seen the video, but it doesn't explain the first 4 rows and I believe it's missing steps as it does not explain the left side builder chains. Can you elaborate. As this video was already on the site.
Mikey says
I'll take a look if it's missing the steps. I will just take down the video. Thanks for letting me know.

Hi Mikey, I cannot find the pattern for the ampersand, will this be coming soon, please, many thanks in hopeful anticipation,
Mikey says
I don't think the original designer did that symbol. I'm sorry. I don't have a solution for you at this time.
