Santa Pillow

He sees you when you're steeking
He knows when you're on gauge
He knows if you've been swatching right
So just swatch for swatching's sake.

Introducing our charming Santa Pillow knitting pattern, a festive addition to your home decor! This design is inspired by the "tomte," a whimsical domestic sprite known for protecting the farm, similar in appearance to a gnome and reminiscent of Santa Claus himself. With its playful design and Scandinavian flair, this pillow will bring a delightful touch of whimsy to your holiday celebrations.

The Santa Pillow is expertly worked in the round, featuring a repeating motif that adorns both the front and back, creating a cohesive and eye-catching look. The top of the pillow is elegantly finished with Kitchener stitch, ensuring a seamless finish, while the bottom allows for easy assembly—simply add your favorite pillow insert and seam it together for a polished look.
