Flower daisy cushion crochet pattern

Flower Daisy Cushion Crochet Pattern

Project Overview

This downloadable crochet pattern by CDA creates a decorative daisy flower cushion featuring a large circular floral design. The finished cushion displays a prominent flower motif with a diameter of approximately 15 inches and a center hole measuring around 4 inches, making it an eye-catching decorative accent piece suitable for intermediate-level crocheters.

What Is Being Made

The Flower Daisy Cushion is a crocheted decorative pillow featuring a bold daisy flower design as the focal point. The pattern creates the top face of the cushion using circular crochet construction, resulting in a dimensional floral piece that can be stuffed and finished as a complete cushion.

Crochet Techniques Used

This pattern employs fundamental crochet techniques suitable for intermediate crafters. The construction uses circular rounds worked from the center outward, a common method for creating symmetrical floral motifs. The pattern incorporates slip stitching to join rounds and maintain structure, creating a cohesive circular form that builds outward to achieve the full 15-inch flower diameter.

Stitches Used

• Chain stitch (ch) – Used to create foundation chains and turning chains at the beginning of rounds
• Single crochet (sc) – Provides a tight, dense fabric for structural elements
• Double crochet (dc) – Creates a more open, flowing fabric and forms the primary stitch for the flower design
• Slip stitch (sl st) – Joins rounds together seamlessly to maintain the circular shape

Materials Required

Yarn: Lily Sugar 'n Cream Solid yarn in the main color Soft Violet (colorway 00093), requiring 2 balls. This yarn is worked at an aran to worsted weight, providing good stitch definition for the floral design.

Crochet Hook: Size 4mm hook, selected to work appropriately with the aran/worsted weight yarn.

Additional Materials: Stuffing material to fill the completed cushion and achieve a three-dimensional finished form.

Gauge Information

The pattern specifies a gauge of 10 double crochet stitches by 6 rows equaling 3 inches by 3 inches when worked with Lily Sugar 'n Cream Solid yarn. Achieving proper gauge is essential for obtaining the correct finished dimensions, particularly the 15-inch flower diameter and 4-inch center hole.

Pattern Structure

The instructions focus on creating the top face of the cushion using round-by-round construction. Each round is joined with a slip stitch to the first stitch of that round. The pattern uses standard crochet abbreviations and bracket notation to indicate stitch repeats, making it accessible for intermediate-level crafters familiar with basic crochet terminology and techniques.
