The perfect pattern to get your home ready for the holidays!
This jolly pillow pattern is crocheted corner-to-corner in the moss stitch; an easy and mindless pattern that you can work on at anytime! The candy cane coloured stripes are weaved into the front side of the pillow cover after the crocheting is complete. This is a great project to use up bits of red and green yarn!

There are two options for the back of this pillow; you can either crochet one solid piece (if you are using stuffing), or two rectangular pieces to form a little opening (if you are using a pillow form).

The sample pillow cover showcased in this pattern fits a standard 16” pillow insert, however this pattern has instructions to modify the pattern for any square-sized pillow.
