I love really soft and squishable cushions. At the moment there are nine of those on my sofa. They're not all crocheted nor handmade but what they have in common is a "velvety" feel or look. So I just had to make a some cushion covers with Scheepjes
Colour Crafter Velvet! Although I fear they won't all fit on my sofa. Never mind....I also love to pile cushions onto the bed and that's large enough.
As I told you in
my previous post, I started out designing a granny square having a square cushion cover in mind. However, halfway through the 18 squares I planned to make I thought it would be nicer to make differently shaped covers. So I decided on making a small rectangular one and a round one. I extended the circle in the square to fit a 40cm round cushion pad and also experimented a bit with colour order.
For the granny squares I switched green and blue to create some extra contrast in the cover. It's amazing what a difference a colour switch can make. I love how the purple stands out and brings the design together. So for the round cover I also wanted the purple to stand out but that meant that I couldn't use it just for joining and for the single crochet rounds that "tie" the double crochet rounds together. I had to actually use it in a few double crochet rounds and for joining the two circles. I think the two covers work really well together.
I was a bit curious though how the circular cover would turn out if I just used the purple shade for the single crochet rounds so I made another cover. You can see it in the first photo of this post. It looks very different, a bit more muted but still a great companion piece to the rectangular cover I started out with. I hope you like them and if you want to make them yourself, I'll publish the patterns later this week!
