Tunisian Crochet Christmas Tree Pillow

By: Sarah Ruane from Ned & Mimi
Tunisian Crochet Christmas Tree Pillow

"The Tunisian Crochet Christmas Tree Pillow is the perfect cosy addition to your home for the holiday season. This pattern is perfect for anyone who has dabbled in Tunisian crochet and would like to expand their skills a little! The front and back panels are joined with a round of reverse single crochet so there is absolutely no seaming. If you have done a little bit of Tunisian crochet, then this pillow pattern will be no problem at all for you. Once you can work the Tunisian Simple Stitch (Tss) and Tunisian Purl Stitch (Tps), the only new technique you’ll need to learn is how to change colors mid-row in Tunisian crochet."

Crochet HookL/11 or 8 mm hook

Crochet Gauge12 stitches x 10 rows = 4” x 4” / 10cm x 10cm measured over Tss.
