This little pillow is done in Herrschner’s afghan yarn. It is just a little over 2 inches.
Materials
- Herrschner's afghan yarn
- Size E hook
Notes
- Do not join rnds and follow carefully rnd 3 as this pillow's shape can be ruined if you don't follow exactly.
- I am using htr st as a smooth transitional between tr sts and dc sts. A htr is [yo twice, yo and pull through 2 loops, yo, pull through 3 loops. Voila!
- When you make you 6 sc in the 2nd ch st make sure you have inserted the hook under two strands of the three. Otherwise you will have a hole that is too large.
- You can make this pillow in thicker yarn but use a crochet hook at about 2 sizes smaller
