The pattern you voted for us to crochet for January’s Pillow CAL is:
Scrapalicious Cushion by Joanita Theron
Yarn: DK Weight Yarn
Hook: 3.5 mm (E)
Finished Size: 35 cm by 32 cm
Closure: Fold Over Flower Button
As this is a ‘scrap’ yarn cushion you can select whichever yarns you have in your stash to complete your pillow! We are starting the year off the right way using up some of our stash yarn!
Joanita’s pillow was crocheted in DK Weight Yarn with a 3.5 mm (E) crochet hook; however, you can substitute with the yarn of your choice so long as you use the same brand / weight yarn for the entire project.
I am using:
Yarn: Red Heart Super Saver in 4 colors (Approximately 1/2 ball of each: Pool, Red, White and Black)
Hook: 4 mm (G) Clover Amour Crochet HookMy Small Squares are 3.5 inches by 3.5 inches
My Large Square is 15 inches wide by 12.5 inches tall (don’t worry it will be square after the flap is added!).After joining, edging and assembly I believe my finished pillow will be approximately 16 inches by 16 inches in size.
