About this pattern

Three bold red letters spell JOY on a deep navy background, with a little white to make them pop. It is a small, wide C2C project, 28 by 16 squares, so you can stitch it in a few evenings. Sew it into a lumbar cushion for the sofa or the front of a bed. A nice pick if you want holiday decor without starting a full blanket.
