I know technically speaking I've already made a Little-Squares-ta-dah post before, but hoping you won't mind seeing it again in cushiony form as opposed to flat form.I'm really, really happy with it. Loving it even.
As promised, I've been very very busy writing up a cushion-making tutorial for you. It's been a real challenge actually. Much harder than I anticipated. I really hope I've done alright and that you'll be able to follow it without too much difficulty. I finished the tutorial at lunch time today and you can find it over to the left there at the bottom of my sidebar. Usual place, listed as a Page, or click here.
Hoping you can make use of it, and I look forward to hearing about your cushiony thrills and spills....don't forget you can now share photos with us all in the Attic24 Inspired group pool on Flickr too.
Right I'm off for a cuppa, have a lovely day xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Edited to add :: after being asked about the pattern for the basic two-round granny squares used in this cushion, I realise that this is something I've not yet done...tut tut!!! I'll see if I can do a basic granny squares tutorial soon for those of you who are new to crochet and looking for a good beginners project to learn with. After the Circles Scarf pattern though :o)

It's so beautiful!! I love it. The buttons are just adorable! A x

As beautiful as the front is, i'm definitely loving the back with its delightful details!

It looks fab Lucy, you've made a really good job of it. My kittys would love it, they always make a beeline for my crocheted cushion so it's a good job you have no furry friends around as their claws are not very crochet friendly!
Hope all is well with you.

I was wondering how you were going to make the sweater's border not look out of place!! The crocheted trim and buttons is as sweet as can be! Very Clever!

Love it Lucy. Have been trying to get a couple of jumpers to have a go myself but have not found any yet. Struggling to blog at the moment so need your posts to keep me going. Thank you.
