This textured crochet pillow is soft and squishy, sporting a raised design made with front post stitches. As it is made with blanket yarn, it works up quick and easy. With a three color repeat, the combos are endless to match any home décor aesthetic.
I have my pillow on my living room sectional and get rave compliments any time guests enter. I plan on making a couple more because I love it so.
