The Winter Flora Cushion uses tapestry crochet to create a beautiful floral pattern. At its centre, the cushion has a gorgeous poinsettia flower. This is surrounded by sixteen pairs of mistletoe berries and leaves.

The pattern includes full written instructions, lots of photos, and comprehensive pattern notes to help you make the cushion.

It also includes links to these video tutorials about techniques used:

There are two pdf files for the pattern. One is with UK crochet terms and the other is with US crochet terms.

The finished cushion cover measures 46 x 46 cm (around 18 x 18 inches) and you will need a pad of the same size to go in your cushion.

The cushion used the following yarn:

Scheepjes Catona (100% cotton; 4 ply; 125 m / 50 g ball):
MC: 5 x 50g balls of Light Navy (164)
CC1: 1 x 10g ball of Saffron (249)
CC2: 1 x 50g ball of Scarlet (192)
CC3: 1 x 50g ball of Forest Green (412)
CC4: 1 x 10g ball of Bridal White (105)

Note the smaller 10g balls required for CC1 and CC4.

You could substitute for other 4 ply yarns. I recommend cotton as it gives great stitch definition and doesn’t fluff up.

Hook: 2.5 mm

Crochet level: intermediate.
