DESCRIPTION
The Star Marisa Pillow is a fun pillow to freshen up the décor around your home. Most of us have a variety of pillows scattered around the house. A different shape can break up the monotony of all those rectangular cushions on the sofa or bed. It will add a little fun to a kid’s room and the star is a significant symbol to display during religious holidays.

It can be further adorned with pom-poms or tassels on the points, or an embroidered cross on as I did. I gifted it to my granddaughter for her confirmation. She keeps her “prayer pillow” on her bed to remind her of the guiding light of her faith.

SIZE
Approximately 17.5” (44.5 cm)

DIFFICULTY LEVEL - Advance Beginner
Beginner because it uses only one basic beginner friendly stitch.
Advance because it is crocheted in continuous rnds. If you have mastered that simple technique it is a very easy design to make.
