Colour clash cushion crochet pattern
Becca Parker – To Be Adorned
The design
Brighten up your sofa with a colour pop crochet cushion. Hello bold pink and red colour
clash! The simple circle-to-square blocks have a high contrast tile effect and are quick to
hook once you’ve nailed the colour changes. Stitch 16 squares for both the front and back of
the cushion, or make one big granny square for the back for a reversible design. This cushion
cover is designed to fit a 40 x 40cm cushion pad.
