Christmas Pillow Decor
Now is a great time to prep for your winter markets, get a head start on gifts, or to crochet your own Christmas decor! I have crocheted a whole set of Christmas pillows – a snowman, Santa, and elf.
I do have a few more ideas in mind that will go with this set, so stay tuned if you’re interested! I got the 4 pack of 14″ x 14″ pillows off of Amazon so if you’re planning on making all of them, I recommend snagging a pack!
