What is Being Made
The Butterflies Cushion is a decorative crochet cushion cover that combines a handmade crocheted front panel with a coordinating UK floral fabric backing. This intermediate-level project creates an elegant home accent piece suitable for indoor or outdoor use, blending traditional crochet craftsmanship with textile design.
Crochet Techniques Used
This project features the advanced technique of 'join as you go', which allows crocheters to construct the cushion front by joining individual squares together during the crocheting process rather than assembling them afterward. This method requires intermediate crochet skills and familiarity with joining techniques. The pattern includes video tutorial links to guide crafters through the join as you go method in rows, making this advanced technique more accessible to intermediate-level makers.
Crochet Stitches Used
The Butterflies Cushion utilizes basic crochet stitches as its foundation, though the overall project difficulty is elevated by the advanced joining techniques employed. The pattern provides a crochet stitch directory reference to support crafters in executing the required stitches accurately. Additional fundamental skills covered include making chain loops and weaving in ends.
Materials and Yarn
This project is worked in sport weight yarn across seven coordinated yarn colors:
- Yarn A – Dusky Pink (3112)
- Yarn B – Dark Pink (3770)
- Yarn C – Pearl Grey (4010)
- Yarn D – Light Greyish Green (7120)
- Yarn E – Dark Grey Green (7139)
- Yarn F – Dark Olive Mix (7238)
- Yarn G – Lime (7300)
The pattern requires an appropriate crochet hook sized for sport weight yarn. In addition to yarn and hook, crafters will need UK floral backing fabric to complete the cushion construction, along with basic sewing supplies and materials for finishing.
Additional Skills Required
While the crochet component uses fundamental stitches, sewing experience is recommended to successfully make up the finished cushion. The pattern includes written sewing instructions to guide the assembly of the crocheted front with the fabric backing, ensuring a professional finished product.
