Hi friends,

The Cushy Crochet Christmas Tree Pillow 🎄 is a fun and easy to make addition to your holiday decor. Not only does it look cute, but it’s soft and snuggly for those cold Winter nights, too!

EDIT: there was a typo in Row 1 listing the wrong stitch. It should read “fsc” for Foundation Single Crochet. I have fixed it in the pattern below and in the PDF. I apologize!!

I stitched my Christmas Tree Pillow using Baby Bee Snugs & Kisses yarn in Soft Snowflake and an N/9mm crochet hook. You’ll also need some Poly-fil to stuff your pillow. The pattern is below along with a link to a free PDF if you’d like to easily print it.

Baby Bee Snugs & Kisses yarn is a Bulky Weight (6) yarn so the Cushy Crochet Christmas Tree Pillow works up quickly. I love how the pillow looks with my new Christmas blanket on my red chair. Is it too early to start decorating for Christmas? 🎄
