Holly Jolly Christmas Pillow – Free Crochet Pattern

I am so excited to participate in this year’s 12 Weeks of Christmas CAL! My contribution is this lovely Holly Jolly Christmas Pillow. It is the perfect accent pillow for your bed or sofa. I added two holly berry bunches to my pillow but there is definitely room to add more! I hope you enjoy the pattern. Happy Crocheting!
