This Santa pillow is made with the technique called Inset Mosaic:

• You change yarn every second row.
• You turn your work at each row.
• You work in SC, CH and DC (US terms) / DC, CH and TR (UK terms)
• You work from written instructions and I have added a chart.
• You can carry your yarn up the sides so there are less ends.
• Level: intermediate

The pattern is written in English (with American and English crochet terms) and in Dutch.
