I love holiday throws and fell in love with this pattern when Red Heart published it during the first week of their 12 weeks of Christmas promotion. You can find the pattern here. I couldn't wait to order the yarn from Joann's and when it arrived I got started.
I think I probably pulled out more rows then I actually crocheted, but it was worth it. It is the most challenging piece I have ever attempted. The 2/2 Back Cross was likey the hardest part of the pattern for me to figure out. The stitch itself wasn't hard, but I struggled to understand what the writer intended and nowhere on the Internet or any of my books could I find anyone who used this description of the stitch. One day it clicked and the project moved forward. I also just found myself making foolish mistakes and having to pull out rows when I'd catch the pattern being off.
I didn't get the pillow done this year, but I am considering putting on my list of projects for next year.
