Flower Trellis Crocheted Throw & Cushion in King Cole 4Ply – Pattern 4691

This downloadable PDF crochet pattern from King Cole presents the Flower Trellis Crocheted Throw & Cushion, a beautifully coordinated set of homeware projects worked in King Cole 4Ply yarn. The pattern covers two distinct designs — a generously sized throw and a matching cushion — both constructed using the same fundamental motif-based approach, making them ideal companion pieces for any home interior. The pattern is rated intermediate in difficulty, meaning it is best suited to crocheters who are already comfortable with basic crochet stitches and are ready to explore more decorative, textured techniques.

About the Flower Trellis Throw

The throw is built entirely from individual square motifs, each measuring approximately 10cm (4 inches) square after blocking, crocheted using a 3.00mm hook. The motif-based construction is a classic and versatile approach in crochet: each small square is worked independently in the round, then the completed motifs are joined together to form the finished fabric. This method makes the project highly portable, as individual motifs can be worked on the go and assembled later.

The Flower Trellis design incorporates decorative floral elements worked into each motif, creating a trellis-like repeating pattern across the surface of the throw. The overall effect is an elegant, textured fabric with a cottage or vintage aesthetic that works beautifully as a bed throw, sofa blanket, or decorative accent piece.

Techniques Used in the Throw

• Motif-based construction: The throw is assembled from multiple individual square motifs joined together, a technique that allows for great flexibility in sizing and colour arrangement.
• Working in the round: Each motif is crocheted in rounds (rnds) from the centre outward, a fundamental technique in granny square and floral motif crochet.
• Blocking: Blocking is an essential finishing step referenced in the pattern — each motif is blocked to its stated dimensions to ensure consistency and a professional result across the finished throw.
• Joining motifs: Completed motifs are assembled to form the full throw, a technique that requires careful attention to alignment and tension.
• Colour work: The pattern references multiple colours (cols), suggesting the throw incorporates deliberate colour placement across the motifs to enhance the floral trellis design.

Stitches Used in the Throw

• Chain (ch): Used throughout for foundation rings, turning, and creating spaces within motifs.
• Slip stitch (ss): Used to join rounds and secure yarn ends within the motif construction.
• Double crochet (dc): A fundamental stitch used within the motif structure.
• Double treble (dtr): A tall, elongated stitch that adds height and texture, likely contributing to the floral elements of the design.
• Popcorn stitch (pc): A bold, three-dimensional stitch formed by working multiple trebles into the same stitch or space and then closing them together to create a raised, bobble-like cluster. The pattern also specifies a beginning popcorn (begpc), a variation used at the start of a round to replicate the appearance of a standard popcorn stitch.
• Spaces (sp/sps): Chain spaces are incorporated into the motif design, creating the open, trellis-like framework between floral elements.

About the Flower Trellis Cushion

The cushion is worked using the same motif construction method as the throw, but the individual squares are slightly smaller, each measuring approximately 8cm (3¼ inches) square after blocking, also using a 3.00mm hook. The reduced motif size gives the cushion a finer, more detailed appearance while maintaining the same decorative Flower Trellis aesthetic as its larger companion piece.

As a homeware accessory, the cushion is designed to coordinate directly with the throw, making the two items a cohesive set. Working both projects together allows crocheters to use yarn efficiently across a colour palette and create a unified decorative scheme.
