UPDATE November 2024:

I hope that you’re enjoying your current knitting projects. It has been such a pleasure sharing my patterns with you and seeing your creativity bring them to life.

After much thought, I have made the difficult decision to no longer offer my patterns for free. This was not an easy choice—designing and sharing these patterns has always been a passion of mine and a way to connect with this amazing community.

However, the time, effort, and resources required to create, test, and perfect each pattern are significant. To continue bringing you high-quality, unique designs and to support the sustainability of my work, I will now be offering my patterns for purchase on Etsy.

I am incredibly grateful for your support over the years. Your kind words, encouragement, and enthusiasm mean so much to me. I hope you’ll continue to enjoy my patterns and support this new chapter.

Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of this journey.

Snowflake Bobble Stitch Holiday Pillow Cover Pattern Notes:

• This pattern uses the Intarsia Crochet technique that involves using multiple colors in a single row or round of crochet to create a specific design or pattern. 
• The pattern is written out by row, but you can also follow the graph for the color work. 
• Each square represents an individual stitch, either a single crochet or bobble stitch. 
• Beginning Ch-1s do not count as a stitch throughout the entire pattern.
• Bobbles are worked only on EVEN rows (wrong side of work) and are always worked in the contrast color. When bobbles are marked in the pattern, you are to follow the color change at the same time. See tips on changing colors below.
• For simplicity, you can bind off the CC after every even row and reattach at the next even row (this saves you from carrying the yarn in the back across 2 rows).
• Once the back and front panels are complete, we will edge the work with sc to ensure a clean seam when joining the seams together. You can increase the size of the work by increasing the edging. If you are working this up as a pillow cover you many need an additional round or 2 of edging to fit over your existing pillow (you may not need to do this if using a pillow form). 

Tips on Changing Colors:

1. Finish the Last Stitch with the Old Color:
   • Work until there are two loops on the hook with the old color.
2. Yarn Over with the New Color:
   • Before completing the last stitch with the old color, yarn over with the new color.
3. Pull Through Loops:
   • Finish the last stitch by pulling through the last two loops with the new color.
4. Secure the Old Color:
   • Once you’ve changed colors, secure the yarn of the old color by either crocheting over the tail or by weaving it in later.

Skill Level:

Intermediate: For crocheters with some experience. More intricate stitches, shaping & finishing.

Measurements:

The pattern is written for a 16x16in pillow and can easily be increased by adding additional rounds to the edging. Each round of edging will add approx. ½ inch to the size of the panel.

• #3 Medium yarn 
  • Main color (MC): 2 ball of 198 g/7 oz, 338 meters/370 yards 
  • Contrast color (CC): 1 ball of – 198 g/7 oz, 338 meters/370 yards 
  • As photographed – Red Heart With Love in Holy Berry (MC) and Eggshell (CC)

Gauge:

• Crochet Gauge: 4″ x 4″ (10 cm x 10 cm) 14 sc and 14 rows with a 6.5 mm (U.S. K/10 ½) crochet hook

Abbreviations:

Bobble St: Yarn over, insert hook into stitch, yarn over and pull through (three loops on hook), yarn over and pull through 2 of the loops. Repeat the previous step four more times so that you have five not-quite-complete dc stitches worked into the same stitch. There will be six loops on the hook. Yarn over and pull through all six loops. This closes your bobble crochet stitch.
