A charming crochet pattern for a matching pin cushion and needle cushion, perfect for decorating in your own unique style
Today I've released a new crochet pattern for two small items that you can embellish in many different ways. I love making small items that are both practical and very decorative. I've got quite a few small items lined up for publication this year and this is the first one: The Cushlet Pin & Needle Cushion Set.
I designed this small crochet project especially for makers who love crocheting, sewing and other fibre crafting. This pattern includes instructions for two coordinating cushions: a larger pin cushion and a smaller needle cushion. Together they make a charming set for your sewing table or craft room.
Decorate the cushlets in your personal style
One of the special features of the Cushlet design is how easy it is to personalize. The cushions form a simple and elegant base that can be decorated in many different ways and in the pattern I show you three of these ways: A simple star, French knots and of course peacock eye stitches. These are all embroidered on using the same yarn I used to make the cushions. Of course there so many more options besides embroidery: for example, you could add a crochet flower or leaf or small and cute buttons along the sides. Or keep them beautifully minimal.
Stash Busters and Gift Ideas
Because the cushions are small (diameter 14cm and 11.5cm), they are also wonderful quick crochet projects and perfect for using leftover yarn. They don't eat up much yarn and look gorgeous in all kinds of colour combinations, so dive into your stash to find those oddments to create a lovely and practical pin cushion plus needle cushion :) for your craft nook or for someone else's of course. They'd make such thoughtful handmade gifts for crochet or sewing enthusiasts and you can embellish them to their tastes.
If you enjoy creative details and customizable projects, the Cushlet Pin & Needle Cushion Set is a lovely pattern to explore.
