Lightning Stripes Cushion & Blanket

This is a crochet pattern for a cushion cover or blanket made using tapestry crochet to form a repeating zig-zag pattern.

The pattern includes photos, full written instructions, tips and a chart for making a cushion cover or blanket. It would be suitable for a beginner with some experience or an intermediate crocheter looking to try tapestry crochet for the first time.

You could use this pattern to make both sides of a cushion. Alternatively, you could make one side with my Tumbling Stripes pattern.

The finished cushion cover, made with aran yarn, measures 40 x 40 cm. However, the pattern includes instructions for varying the size to make a bigger or smaller cushion cover or blanket.

The pattern uses aran yarn although you could use any weight yarn.

The pattern is written using UK crochet terms but it includes a table for converting them to US terms (very simply!).

Crochet level: intermediate.
