When I came to designing the hygge heart pillow cover, I knew I wanted to incorporate these two features into the pattern: the simplicity combined with homely hearts. The plain cream/white main colour shows off the pink hearts and their borders of stripes and dots. The rows of hearts remind me of cross stitch wall hangings I saw in Denmark and that coupled with my recent fascination with self-striping yarns give this cushion cover a fair isle knit appearance despite it being crochet. I chose to use Aurora Electrons which gives beautiful purple to pink stripes through the hearts. However, the pattern is flexible once you have mastered colour change in crochet, the possibilities of different colour combinations are endless for you to create your own personal hygge at home.
