Intro:

Hue Loco is making it real easy to slip into autumn with this collection. It’s warm, it’s cozy and it’s perfect for home decor. I settled on something I haven’t made yet- a lumbar, rectangular pillow! Using the softest Merino Sock yarn I worked up itty bitty sunbursts and now I have the cutest little accent pillow to decorate for fall.

Happiest crocheting!
