I grew up in the Rocky Mountains where winters were full of cold days and even colder nights. But I love the calm and silence of a gentle snowstorm, it's so magical. If going out isn't an option, then why not create a Let It Snow Crochet Blanket and Pillow.
And speaking of keeping cozy, also check out the Windowpane Cocoon Crochet Wrap, this pattern also uses bulky weight yarn with an easy crochet construction.
This is a fun colorwork pattern with a bulky weight yarn. It makes it warm enough for those really cold nights and adds a lot of warmth.

Let It Snow Crochet Notes:
Please note, matching gauge both horizontal and vertical can be difficult. Extra rows can be added at the top if needed so it is more important to match the stitch gauge versus the row gauge. This pattern also has some ease to fit over a pillow.
The pillow pattern is worked from the bottom up in rows and in two pieces. The front panel will also work a buttonhole flap to secure the top of the crochet pillow. The front and the back panels will be slip stitched together once completed.
After the end of each row turn and ch 1. The ch 1 does not count as a stitch.
The right side of rows are read from right to left. Wrong side rows are read from left to right.
To change color, work the last yarn over of the single crochet in the color of the next stitch.
Since there is a wrong side and a right side to the pillow panels, I used a combination of intarsia and carrying yarn across the back for the colorwork. Experiment and see what works best for you.
A burlap back can be used in a substitute for a crochet pillow back.
Colors are abbreviated as letters in the written instructions: Grey Heather = A Black = B True Grey = C Neutral = D
Let It Snow Crochet Instructions:
Let It Snow Blanket:
To Begin: With True Grey (C), chain 115 and start the first row in the second chain from hook. After the end of each row turn and ch 1. The ch 1 does not count as a stitch. (114 sts)
To Begin: With Heather Grey (C), chain 47 and start the first row in the second chain from hook. After the end of each row turn and ch 1. The ch 1 does not count as a stitch. (46 sts)
-With Black or Grey, chain 47 and start the first row in the second chain from hook. After the end of each row turn and ch 1. The ch 1 does not count as a stitch. (46 sts)
-Single crochet a total of 49 rows to create the back panel.
-Fasten off and weave in ends. OR Continue to below and substitute the back panel for burlap.
Attaching Panels Together:
Place the front and back panels together with wrong sides facing. If using burlap cut two pieces approximately one in longer on each side of pillow. Your crochet hook will be able to work through the holes in the burlap. Using white yarn, slip stitch from top of one side of pillow (where the panels meet, not over the flap), around the bottom, and up the other side. I found by slip stitching with a tight tension really makes some crisp edges, but you do not want puckering. Fasten off and weave in ends. Flip pillow so the right side is facing out and the seams are on the inside. Attaching Buttons:
With the back panel facing, fold front panel down over the top of the back panel and with stitch markers mark the row where each button will be placed. Using a yarn needle and green yarn, sew each button in place.
Place a 20x20 pillow inside the cover and enjoy!
