Our Polka Nutcracker throw pillow features a nutcracker, hooked in wool. 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. Repeat one of its colors somewhere else in the room and the whole arrangement locks together.
Nutcracker in a tall red and white striped hat, gray curls, black mustache and a red check bow, set on a cream ground dotted with black. The dots keep it playful instead of formal, and it pairs easily with red plaid or a plain green throw.

Hooking is slow work and it shows, in dense wool loops that stand up off the surface and hide the wear flat fabrics show. These are made in limited seasonal quantities. The wool is why this one goes back into the box every January instead of into the bin. Makes a good gift for hosts, newlyweds, and first-Christmas households.
