Something that I feel you can never have enough of is decorative cushions... I'm actually so fond of them that if I had my way I would add a dozen to every bed or sofa!
I was quite shocked the other day to discover I had never crocheted a cushion cover (due to my undying love for them), so I quickly grabbed my selection of hooks and searched for the perfect yarn to use to crochet this lovely cabled throw cushion cover you see above!
Now if your home needs to be embellished with even more crochet goodness, I'd suggest trying your hand at either my Woodland Moss Chunky Basket or even my Vintage Candy Shop Bunting pattern!

ReplyDeleteThis pillow is lovely, thank you for sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteThese are very nice pillows.

ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of the buttons so the cover is removable.
ReplyDeleteA quick question about the amount of yarn needed: Your pattern says 480 yards but that seems excessive to me. Can you confirm how many skeins of the Phildar Rapido you used for this pattern?
ReplyDeleteHi Kacey, I am going to make this pillow and was wondering if you had made it and how much yarn you used? 480 yards is a lot.
