Argyle Christmas Tree Pillow
Crocheted in the classic argyle pattern, the Argyle Christmas Tree Pillow will add a little whimsy to your holiday decorating. This adorable pillow makes a great holiday house warming gift for those with Scottish heritage, that someone special who loves to golf, or for anyone who appreciates the charm of the classic argyle pattern. Crochet yours in traditional holiday colors or mix it up with a variety of colors; the choice is yours. Written for worsted/aran weight yarn, however the pattern can be worked in just about any yarn. Try sock yarn and make an ornament; try bulky and make a statement!
The iconic Argyle design has a rich history in fashion dating back to the 17th century where it was derived from the tartan of Clan Campbell of Argyll in western Scotland. In the 1920’s it became a staple pattern used in golf clothing and accessories and eventually became a part of pop culture with 1980’s preppies! Who knew!
Labeled as intermediate as you will be required to work with two colors at once. Experience with changing colors mid-row and familiarity with either tapestry crochet (working over unused yarn) or intarsia crochet (floating unused yarn on WS) is recommended.
