Ginger cookie Cushion Cover Free Crochet Pattern

Happy Tuesday my crafty friends!

I'm back today with a new fun crochet project!

I love spending time in my family room during Christmas time, cozying up on the couch, by the fire, under a warm blanket and surrounded by cute decorative pillows.

...and every year I like to add something new to my own pillow covers collection!

This year's cover has a combination of two nice and warm colors and two different textures! Some of you might have recognized the Alpine Stitch...isn't that stitch just beautiful?

This project is worked with Wool Ease Thick & Quick yarn by Lion Brand!

A super soft and warm wool yarn available in a wide variety beautiful colors palettes!

***You can purchase a downloadable AD-FREE PDF
