🌸 Sakura Square – Granny Square Showcase

Inspired by delicate cherry blossoms, the Sakura Square is a calm and meditative crochet project that grows into a soft floral motif framed in a classic granny square.

Crochet along with the gentle notes of 🌙 — a beautiful soundtrack for slow, creative evenings. It also feels like a poetic moment while the world is looking toward the Moon again through the Artemis program.

The Celtic Knot Pillow is finally here! ☘️
This design grew out of my Celtic Knot Square, with its four interlocking rings that create the timeless knot motif. I love how these squares come together to form a cozy pillow that feels both elegant and a little bit magical.

In the tutorial I show you how to:
✨ Crochet the square
✨ Block your squares to shape the knot beautifully
✨ Join the squares using a neat slip stitch technique
✨ Finish the pillow with simple tapestry needle stitches

You can find the full tutorial on my YouTube channel and the written pattern on HandmadebyRaine.com.
Would you make this pillow in one color or mix different shades? I’d love to see your version! 💚
