Starfish Filet Cushion

This is a simple and unique cushion, made using the Filet technique of crochet. This pattern is written in UK and US terms. Just download whichever version you prefer. It is such an addictive technique to use as you slowly see the pattern emerging with each finished row.

It uses DK yarn and a 4 mm hook but you can use any to suit your preference but this will alter the size of your cushion and you may need a different size cushion insert. It uses less than 300g of yarn. 200g for the main section and less than 100g for the border if made following this pattern. This will make a cushion cover to fit a 15 x 15 inch cushion

The pattern consists of written instructions and a chart as well as shorthand instructions.
