Little Squares Cushion :: ta-dah!

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.

The thrifted wool jumper that I eventually managed to get hold of to the make the backing looks great. The colour is really scrummy, even better in real life than in these pictures.

Yes, I'm really in love with this cushion.

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)

Hi Lucy,

I’m very new to crochet and love this cushion. I thought that it would be a good starting project but can’t find the pattern. I did see at the bottom of the post that your were going to do one but not sure if you haven’t had the chance or if I’m having a senior moment :O
Please can you help?
Thanks Gill

Do you have a tutorial for the small granny squares used in this cushion. I'm kind of a beginner and I would love to try to make these squares. I put crocheting down about six months ago to plan my wedding... but your blog has sooooo inspired me to start back. Thanks for what you do, I'm such a fan :)

Lucy! Hello! I found this artist over at Flickr. (I was browsing around the photos after your post on how you find inspiration there). I think you might enjoy some of her stuff. I know I did! Here's a link. http://www.thaneeya.com/pages/shop/shop-original-artwork-3.htm
I like all of her color saturated mosaics like "Blissful Esprit" Hope you enjoy!
