Fuzzy Peppermint Pillow Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

FRIDAY FUN DAY!

 Fuzzy Peppermint Pillow 

Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach of Posh Pooch Designs

The Fuzzy Peppermint Pillow is the perfect

 Project for A Sweet And Festive

Friday Funday!

It is designed using Bernat super bulky (6) weight 

blanket yarn, so it stitches up super quick. And,

It only uses a few ounces of yarn

You can make it in just a couple of hours. 

It Measure 12 X 12 inches and it's a nice addition

 to your Christmas and Holiday decorations.

It is also so soft and squishy, that everyone will

 want one. 

You do not have to make it in traditional Christmas

 Colors, just use your imagination and look through

 your yarn stash and see what fun color combinations

 you can come up with.

I just know you will enjoy stitching up some of these.

I know I did. They are so fun to make, decorate with

 and give to others.

Add This Crochet Pattern to your Ravelry Favorites
Skill: Easy

Materials :
Hook - H / 5.00 MM
Yarn- Bulky (5 or 6) Bernat Denim- Lava Wash 
              (This is a chunky Yarn, you can also use strand
                 each of a Red and White Worsted weight yarn.)
Peppermint Button or PLASTIC decorations- 
                     I found these in the mini. Christmas Tree Section
                     at Hobby Lobby. Do Not Use real Peppermints!!!


Stitches:
Chain (ch)
Single Crochet (sc)
Double Crochet (dc)
Slip Stitch ( sl st)

First measure your dog, cat, bunny or pets neck.


Ch 27 for a 10 inch neck - 
(to make larger or smaller add chs in increments of 4.)


R: 1 Sc in the 2nd ch from the hook, *skip the next ch, 4 dc in the next ch, 
skip the next ch, 1 sc in the next ch, Repeat from * 5 more times for 6 shells,
 1 sc in the last ch, ch1


R: 2 - Working down the opposite side of the ch, 1 sc in the 1st sc,
 *skip the next ch, 4 dc in the next ch (should be in the center of the last shell) 
skip the next ch, sc in the next ch, repeat 5 more times for 6 shells, sc in the last ch.
 do not tie off.


1st Tie - Ch 25, 1 dc in the 2nd ch from the end, sl st back down the ch to the collar, 
join with a sl st and tie off.

2nd Tie - join yarn to the opposite end of the collar with a sl st, Ch 25, 
1 dc in the 2nd ch from the end, sl st back down the ch to the collar,
 join with a sl st and tie off.

I cut off the loops from the plastic peppermints. 

Then I Hot Glued one in each shell center. 

The package comes with 9 peppermints, 

so if you need to make the collar larger you have a few extra.

Keep the collar on securely so dogs are not tempted
 to bite or chew on the peppermint pieces.

Rosie is wearing the Reindeer hat.

Happy Stitching!
