This Santa pillow is made with the technique called Inset Mosaic:

  • You change yarn every second row.
  • You turn your work at each row.
  • You work in SC, CH and DC (US terms) / DC, CH and TR (UK terms)
  • You work from written instructions and I have added a chart.
  • You can carry your yarn up the sides so there are less ends.
  • Level: intermediate

The pattern is written in English (with American and English crochet terms) and in Dutch.
