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. See The Video on my Youtube Crochet Channel at This LINK
