Bright Idea Light Bulb Pillow Crochet Pattern

by Joy Prescott

Overview

Crochet this light bulb pillow for the genius in your life using only simple single crochet stitches. The pattern starts from the bottom of the bulb and shaping is done by adding or crocheting stitches together at the ends of rows. The "wires" and "filaments" are then added with embroidery before sewing the two sides together and stuffing.
