A jolly Santa with a red hat, rosy cheeks, a red nose and a fluffy white moustache, and a cheerful snowman with a carrot nose and a blue scarf – two big Christmas pillow cases that bring festive cheer to your sofa or armchair.
An easy knitting pattern by Svetlana Zabelina. The pillow cases are knitted flat and close with buttons; the noses can be knitted flat or in the round (both versions are given) or replaced by big decorative buttons. Instructions for sewing simple inner pillows are included.
