Product Description
My snowmen pillow is composed of three snowmen. The front side is made with nine granny squares that form the three snowmen. Front post and back post stitches are used to make the snowmen look 3D. The back of the pillow is simply a large pink traditional granny square. I used MillaMia Naturally Soft Cotton yarn, but any sport weight yarn would work. You will need one ball of cream, one ball of the color of the front of the pillow, two balls of the color of the back of the pillow, and a few small balls of yarn to add the details to the snowmen. Additionally, you will need a 14 by 14 inch pillow insert and five buttons (1.2- 1.5 cm). The buttons hold the bottom of the pillow together, and allow the pillow to be taken on and off of the insert.

Project Overview
The Snowmen Pillow is a winter-themed crochet cushion project designed by Maggie Trunkhill from Daisy Girl Crochet. This intermediate-level pattern creates a charming decorative pillow featuring three snowmen composed of nine granny squares on the front, with a traditional granny square forming the back panel. The pillow is finished with a removable cover design secured by five buttons, making it both functional and festive.
What Is Being Made
This project produces a complete crochet pillow with a removable pillowcase. The front features three dimensional snowmen created from granny square modules, while the back consists of a single large granny square. The pillow is designed to fit a standard pillow insert and includes a button-closure system for easy removal and washing of the cover.
