Crochet this gorgeous cushion that has two contrasting textures/sides! Display each side for a different look and add a luxurious touch to any room in your home! This cushion uses Lion Brand Yarn’s “Go For Faux” yarn (super bulky level 6) for one side and a complementary bulky level 5 yarn and the alpine stitch for the other side (suggested yarns include “Color Made Easy”, “Hue + Me” or “Woolspun). Two different squares are crocheted using these yarns and then seamed together to form this beautiful cushion. A video and step-by-step tutorial are available demonstrating how to crochet the alpine stitch.

I used 2 skeins of Go For Faux Yarn in “Chinchilla” (116 g/75 yds) and 2 skeins of Color Made Easy in “Shade” (282 g/350 yds).

The pattern is written in US crochet terminology and the finished dimensions are 20”/51 cm x 20”/51 cm (dimensions before inserting pillow form are: 18″/46 cm x 18″/46 cm). I used the IKEA “ULLKAKTUS” pillow insert for this cushion. Note that the printable PDF for purchase is a total of 7 pages including the cover page (includes step-by-step alpine stitch tutorial).
