Its round and starry shape lends itself very well to making a beautiful crochet decorative pillow to use to give a touch of fantasy to the sofa in the living room or on the bed of our kids
To make the biscuit, you must first recreate a round base, which must be worked in a continuous spiral.
What you need is a round padded pillow to cover.
I purchased 4 padded pillows in a single order, and the sizes are 40 cm in circumference for each one.
