Spring Blossom Cushion | Crochet Pattern

 I am so excited about the Spring Blossom Cushion crochet pattern that I

even took a few rare selfies with a few of the sample cushion tests!🌸

Little Bug used an app to create that artistic rendering...

but here's the real me:

My new phone does not pick up the true colors very well,

and I'll be darned if I can find a flattering filter,

so perhaps I need to check into that app!?!

Oh well, here you have it, the real me!

(I wonder why my eyes look so dark?)

 It also includes a 3-page printable version.

The pictured cushions have been crocheted with Stylecraft Special DK and Scheepjes Colour Crafter.

Those are both acrylic DK weight yarn that come in over 100 of the yummiest of colors!!!

The cushion measures approximately 18" (46 cm) across.

I sure hope you make one!

Pretty much any yarn can be used for this project; however, the pictured afghan is crocheted with 

Scheepjes Colour Crafter and/or Stylecraft Special DK, just like the cushion!

The finished bed runner measures 97” x 22” (246 cm x 56 cm) 

(This size fits at the foot of a king or queen-sized bed and hangs over the sides. 

Reduce rows for a smaller bed or rearrange dimensions for a blanket.)
