Gauge / Tension

Tension is not critical for this project, but different measurements may result in different yarn amounts and different size cushion inserts being needed.

Pattern Notes*

This is an intermediate level pattern.

Each Cushion is worked in two separate pieces and then seamed together. Cushion pieces are worked in joined rounds. Tapestry crochet method is used for all colour changes: carry yarn along as you work, trapping it inside sts as you go. Cushion Fronts and Backs will appear slightly smaller than inserts before assembly. This is to achieve slightly taut finish.

The pattern for the Bonbon Cushionsappear in YARN Bookazine 17 - Patisserie, published by Scheepjes. YARN Bookazine is available in print in both UK English and Dutch language and is available from Scheepjes retailers.
