Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky cotton yarn in the following colors:
  • Cream
  • Mustard
  • Red
  • Teal
• Hook: 10 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 sts x 4 rows = 4 inches in double crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Using the cream yarn, create a magic ring. This will be the center of your cushion cover.
2. Round 1:
   • Chain 2 (this counts as your first double crochet).
   • Make 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring.
   • Join the round by slip stitching (sl st) into the top of the chain-2.
3. Change to Mustard Yarn: Cut the cream yarn, leaving a tail for weaving in later. Attach the mustard yarn.
4. Round 2:
   • Chain 2.
   • In the next stitch, make 2 dc, then 1 dc in the next stitch. Repeat this pattern around (2 dc in one stitch, 1 dc in the next stitch).
   • Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-2.
5. Change to Red Yarn: Cut the mustard yarn, leaving a tail. Attach the red yarn.
6. Round 3:
   • Chain 2.
   • In the next stitch, make 2 dc, then 1 dc in each of the next 2 stitches. Repeat around.
   • Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-2.
7. Change to Teal Yarn: Cut the red yarn, leaving a tail. Attach the teal yarn.
8. Round 4:
   • Chain 2.
   • In the next stitch, make 2 dc, then 1 dc in each of the next 3 stitches. Repeat around.
   • Join with a sl st to the top of the chain-2.
9. Continue the Pattern: Repeat the rounds, alternating colors every round (mustard, red, teal) until your cushion cover reaches your desired size.
10. Fasten Off: Once you have reached the desired size, fasten off your yarn and weave in all ends securely.
11. Create the Back Panel: Using the cream yarn, create a back panel in single crochet (sc) to match the size of the front panel. This will provide a clean finish and a snug fit for your cushion.
12. Join the Panels: Place the front and back panels together with the right sides facing each other. Using single crochet, join around the edges, leaving one side open for inserting the cushion.
13. Add a Button Closure (Optional): If you wish, sew a button on one side of the opening and create a loop with yarn on the opposite side to secure the cushion inside.
