Puffs and Hugs Christmas Pillow

This pattern is using one of my very first granny square designs, the Puffs and Hugs Granny Square so that’s how the name of this little design was born. Cute, right?

Special thanks to my testers:

Cheryl Freeman and Kerry Freeman

Materials needed:

• 3.5 mm (F) size hook • 740 metres/808 yards (160 grams) of fingering weight yarn • NOTE: If you crochet loosely I advise you to use a 3 mm (5/0) size hook• Yarn needle for weaving in ends • Scissors • Stitch markers (optional)• Pillow form (40 x 40 cm/ 16” x 16”)• NOTE: Blocking is essential to enhance textured patternwork of your project, open up your stitches and make your edges straight

Difficulty: Advanced Beginner

Size:

The finished size of each square is 12.5 x 12.5 cm/ 5”x 5” AFTER BLOCKING.

The pillow cover will fit a 40 x 40 cm /16″ x 16″ pillow form when finished.

However, if you use different yarn weight (dk or aran), the finished size will be bigger.

I hope you’ll love it as much as I loved creating it!

Happy crocheting!
