Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of  Posh Pooch Designs

The Santa And Elf Pillow is an easy Crochet Pattern

 and is lots of fun to stitch up.

You stitch up a Santa Square and a Elf Square.

Then, we stitch them together so that one side is Santa Claus,

 And one side is a Christmas Elf.

We Stitch them together with a snow white shell

 trim for a fun Holiday touch.

The  12 Inch Squares For The Pillow. 

I designed the Pillow using Bulky (5) yarns for a 

chunky fun look, and it will stitch up quickly. 

I chose to stitch it up with an K / 6.5 mm crochet hook. 

This will keep the stitches close, so no holes.

I also decided to use a pillow form I purchased, 

but you can use your choice of stuffing. 

I Just know you will enjoy stitching Up the 

Santa And Elf Pillow 

to add to Your Christmas decorations.

The Pillow is Stitched in 2 Steps or Parts

Step1 - The Santa and Elf Squares

Step 2 - Stitching, Stuffing and Adding the Shell Trim
