Tree Rug and Pillow Free Crochet Pattern

This week's pattern could easily be called a Christmas theme pattern, but I think it could work well for every day use especially if you change the colors.

It is called: Tree Rug and Pillow

What give this pattern a bit of punch is the blanket stitch edging I used around each section of the trees and the triangles that edge the rug and the pillow.

Any worsted weight yarn can easily be used in place of the suede yarn the pattern calls for.

Enjoy!
