Its festive shape makes it a charming accent for sofas, armchairs, beds, and entryway benches. Pair it with chunky knit blankets, plaid pillows, and evergreen garlands for a warm, inviting holiday look.

This easy crochet Christmas pillow is also perfect for creating a classic, Pottery Barn-inspired Christmas aesthetic.
