Christmas FO

Hello, I hope you have been keeping well and enjoying the holidays! I have been a busy person between working and getting christmas projects finished...very stressful! I have completed several christmas projects and I am going to show you one of my favourites.

This christmas present is a gift that I made for Andy's mum, to go with some of the colours in her livingroom. I made this based on an overlay mandala pattern I had for the front design and the rest of it I made up as I went along. The overlay mandala part of the cushion was the easiest part, crocheting to make the front and back meet however provided a challenge for me. I definitely did fudge it a little, hooking two stitches from the front into one at the back. It took me a month to complete this one as I was crocheting it in turn with all the other projects I had to complete as well!

Pattern: Crochet Overlay Mandala

Yarn: Stylecraft Special DK (Teal, Sunshine)

Debbie Bliss Cashmerino DK (Terracotta - 18014)

King Cole Baby Comfort DK (Baby Peach)

& Wendy Sorrento DK (Cream)

Hook: 4mm

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and that you all received lovely gifts! Here is what I got for christmas from different friends, I can't wait to browse through them for project inspiration in 2013!!

Take care!
