Minnesota Cushion

This cushion is inspired by the Minnesota quilt block.

The geometric shapes are made using Tunisian Entrelac crochet. Tunisian crochet is a different method of crochet (similar to knitting) consisting of a "forward pass" (working right to left and picking up all the stitches in a row) and the "return pass" (working back, left to right, to remove the stitches from the hook). ‘Entrelac’ is the technique of working one shape at a time.

This pattern is Intermediate as there are mid-row colour changes, however it is suitable for beginners to Tunisian crochet as full instructions (with colour photos) are given in the accompanying stitch guide.
