Two Great Yarns are Better Together!

To create the Hygge Diamond Pillow, I used Red Heart Hygge Charm for the diamond
side. It's sparkly, easy to crochet with, and really makes those diamonds pop!

On the other side, I used Red Heart Hygge - so fuzzy and soft! This side contrasts
beautifully with the "hard" diamonds, and gives you two looks in one!

Top it All Off with Poms!

Pom poms on the corners of pillows are all the rage right now - and it's a great way to use
up the leftover bits of yarn when you've finished crocheting the pillow! The Red Heart
Hygge Charm works best for the poms, but they are of course completely optional. You
can even use Faux Fur poms or tassels if you like!

Create Your Own Hygge Diamond Pillow!

The Hygge Diamond Pillow is easy to customize - from colors to corners! I went with
white for a versatile look - this works for your winter wonderland, boho, and texture on
texture looks. But feel free to mix it up and make it your own!

One last thing to note - I used a 20" pillow form to stuff a 16" cover. This creates a super
puffy and firm pillow! For a softer pillow, go with an 18" pillow form. You do always want to
go a little over for fluffiness!

This pattern uses the FSC which negates the need for a foundation chain. If preferred,
chain 56, skip the ch closest to the hook, and sc in each rem ch for the first row of either
side of the pattern.

Additionally, this pattern uses the CSDC, which takes the place of a turning chain or other
dc substitute in the first st of some rows. If preferred, use a ch 3 and count that as the first
dc of the row, or use your preferred dc dubstitute.

SPECIAL ABBREVIATION:

Fptr2tog – front post treble two together decrease: [yo twice and insert hook around
indicated st from front of work, yo and pull up a loop, yo and pull through two loops twice]
two times, yo and pull through all three loops on hook.
