Colour Block Crochet Cushions - Crochet Pattern For Home in Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Chunky by Debbie Bliss

Colour Block Crochet Cushions Pattern Summary

Project Overview

This downloadable crochet pattern from Debbie Bliss features three coordinating cushion designs worked in Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Chunky yarn. The collection showcases modern colour blocking techniques, combining warm and cool tones to create striking home décor pieces. Each cushion is designed to fit standard cushion pads and features button closures for a polished, functional finish.

Cushion Designs

Cushions 1 and 2 are sized to fit a 50cm/20in square cushion pad. Cushion 1 uses a two-colour palette of Burnt Orange 09 and Pearl 23, while Cushion 2 introduces a four-colour design combining Burnt Orange 09, Pearl 23, Sky 15, and Gold 10 for a more complex colour block effect.

Cushion 3 is a rectangular design measuring 30cm/12in x 50cm/20in and features a two-colour combination of Sky 15 and Gold 10, offering a cooler-toned alternative to the warmer schemes of the first two cushions.

Techniques and Construction

These cushions are worked using seamed construction with pieces worked flat, making them suitable for intermediate-level crocheters. The flat-worked approach allows for precise colour blocking and easier seaming, while the seamed technique creates clean, structured edges ideal for home furnishings. This method provides stability and a professional finish appropriate for cushion covers.
