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)

Hook: 4mm

ReplyDeleteThe cushion is fabulous. I bet she loved it. I know how you can get caught up in Christmas gifts. I made all but two of my gifts this year. But I do love giving homemade things. It is a sign that you really care.
ReplyDeleteYou have lots of inspiration in your own Christmas gifts by the looks of it.
Wishing you a new year filled with joy and creativity Hazel!
