Product Description
Biscornu is French for ‘quirky’ and that is exactly what it is! A biscornu is an eight-sided pillow. In embroidery, it is often turned in a small, ornamental pincushion. We will work this design in a pincushion or Tibetan bowl stand, but if you feel adventurous, you could make 8 tiles and enlarge your biscornu in an ornamental cushion for your living space.
Gauge:
Gauge is not crucial for this pattern, as long as your tile lies flat. However, different yarns give different gauges:
Crochet thread: 13sc x 12 rows = 5cm / 2”.
Fingering weight: 10sc x 9 rows = 5cm / 2”.
DK weight: 9sc x 8 rows = 5cm / 2”.
Aran weight: 8sc x 8 rows = 5cm / 2”.
Hooks:
√ Depending on yarn choice, 2.5mm/C, 3mm/D, 4mm/G-6 or 5mm/H-8 crochet hook (Adapt hook to yarn used).
Notions
√ Tapestry needle, stitch markers.
√ Optional: Stuffing and one or two buttons for the biscornu
