Hug The World Pillow Crochet Pattern | Posh Pooch Designs

Hug The World Pillow

Crochet Pattern

I designed this little Hug The World Pillow
to be a cute and simple reminder to
take care of the earth.
No, the pillow is not exactly like the earth,
but a representation.

When we all pitch in and help, even if
it's just a little,

we can make a big difference.

We kept the pattern simple so anyone can make it.
It's all stitched with Double Crochet
Stitches in rows, and changing colors.

Another reason I designed this pattern,
is I think we all could use a big hug.
