Filet Crochet Snowflake Pillow

"This filet crochet snowflake pillow makes a beautiful addition to your winter home decor. The free pattern will show you how to create a striking snowflake design. This pillow features an impression of a large snowflake, made using filet crochet. Filet crochet is a simple and rewarding technique that uses just double crochets and chains to form intricate-looking designs without a single color change. Rather, it’s made up of blocks of solid stitches or open spaces, which create lace patterns on a mesh grid. A crocheter of any skill level, even a beginner, should be able to follow this easy pattern.The first thing you will do is follow the row-by-row instructions to create the front panel, then make an identical panel for the back. Finally, you’ll be sewing the two panels together around a square pillow form."
