Chipper the Christmas Tree

Design by Marie Segares/Underground Crafter.

This simple pattern makes a huggable holiday pal. Chipper can also be used as a decorative holiday pillow. This is a companion to my free Christmas Tree Pillow pattern.

The finished size is approximately 13” (33 cm) tall before stuffing.
