Crochet these adorable balloon-like Alphabet Pillows by Yarnspirations. These pillows are 13" tall and consistent across the entire alphabet patterns provided.
Letters A to Z are provided in the pattern. This allows you to choose initials that are daring to spell entire names in pillow format.
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.
These patterns are not complex. You must know how to read crochet diagrams to follow these. I will have tutorials for each letter available. I have provided a link below on reading crochet diagrams to help you solve this.

Alphabet Diagrams Blown Up
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.

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.

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.

I don't think the original designer did that symbol. I'm sorry. I don't have a solution for you at this time.
