Peppermint Throw and Pillow

What a delicious way to dress up your home for the holidays! The peppermint motif is very cleverly designed with a smaller filler motif. To complete the look we’ve included a peppermint pillow. Throw measures 47” wide x 55” long (119.5 x 139.5 cm). Pillow measures 16” (40.5 cm) diameter. 5.5mm [US I-9] hook Yarn needle, 16” (40.5 cm) diameter round pillow form, locking stitch marker (optional) Gauge: 1 small motif = 3½” (9 cm); 1 large motif = 7¾” (19.5 cm) CHECK YOUR GAUGE. Use any size hook to obtain the gauge. Also available on the [Red Heart United Kingdom][1] and [Red Heart Deutschland][2] websites. On Red Heart North America site, pattern is in US crochet terms.
