Festive Gingham Nutcracker: a hooked wool throw pillow with a nutcracker. Hooked wool gives it real texture and weight rather than the flat face of a print.
The pillow that comes out of the attic box every year. Set it against smooth linen or velvet and the texture contrast does the styling work for you.
The nutcracker fills the square from shoulder to hat, black cap with a gold band and a sprig of holly, brown curls and beard, a pink and yellow uniform with a black belt. Behind him the ground breaks into pale blue and cream diamonds. A bright, slightly silly take on a Christmas standard.

Hooking is slow work and it shows, in dense wool loops that stand up off the surface and hide the wear flat fabrics show. Christmas designs are produced in limited runs each year, and wool is one of the few materials that outlasts the season it was bought for. Worth buying for the family that unpacks the same decorations every December, or for your own house.
