Alphabet Pillow Blocks
Letter “K”
Pattern by Kimberly Lewis
A Woven and Spun Creation
Materials
Worsted Weight Yarn
Size I Crochet hook ( a smaller hook will produce a tighter stitch and smaller
letter)
Polyester Fiber Fill
Stitch Markers
Special Stitch Information: Double Foundation Chain - - chain 2, work one single
crochet in the first chain made. Insert the hook under the left-handed thread of
the last single crochet made, work another single crochet. Repeat step 2 as
required. (this stitch will be done later in the project)
This letter is worked in three sections. You will work from bottom up starting
from the left side. Continue working up the main “stem” of the K. You will then
work the lower right slant of the K then work the upper right slant of the K.

Finish Off
When done with both letters, lay one on top of the other. You will be working
the “wrong sides” so if you want one color for the front and a different one for
the back, place the back color on top of the front color. Slip stitch or whip stitch
around. Leave a small opening to stuff fiberfill. Stuff firmly. Close opening.
Enjoy.
