Why not share it?Tell us your thoughts below. Sorry, there have been no comments on this pattern yet - why not be the first to leave your opinion? Here's a little tutorial on how to make a crochet cushion cover using fleece material .... an old blanket in my case.....to make an envelope style cover and a button closure . I've  also added a pretty crochet trim to finish it off the back. I've chosen fleece fabric for this project as it is nice and soft but also because it doesn't fray and so the amount of sewing required is kept to a minimum. You might not want to make a cushion completely from crochet for several reasons . In this case my choices were driven my the fact I had a limited amount of this lovely cotton blend yarn , as I had recycled it from a garment . Read about that Here. It's also a great time and money saver . To start with measure your piece of finished crochet ..... Add 2cm it the width and two and a half times to the length . This is because we are making a full cushion cover that needs an overlap ,and sewing our crochet to the front. 

The next part is optional , but to add a little prettiness , I added a crochet border it one of the short sides. It's quite simple to do . Start by turning a small (8mm ish ) hem and pin this in place....Pvc Patio Furniture Cleaner Next blanket stitch along this hem use the yarn of your choice (I'm using cotton yarn )and a large sharp needle ....Price Matrix For Auto Repair Next add a crochet trim , mine is simply 1 double crochet ( UK treble) and 1 slip stitch in each loop of the blanket stitch . Cheap Snap Together Garage FlooringI've worked it with the wrong side of the fabric  facing me as I prefer the look of the wrong side of the crochet in this case...... Once you have completed that part fold your fabric into a square shape , with the wrong side of the fabric out and your crochet trim not visible .....

Place you crochet square on top to check the size . Then pin along the two open sides....... And sew them together . You will be sewing through first 2 then 3 , then back to 2 layers of fabric.... I did this by hand , so you don't need a sewing machine. Next turn your cushion cover the right side out .... Pin your crochet square to the front of the cover..... Next sew you crochet to the front of the cover . I used an over and over stitch ( that's what I call it anyway!) And I only caught the back loops of my crochet .... Insert the pad and spend a little time shaping till you are happy with the look..... Finally there's just the buttons to add. Place these where you want them to be on the finished cushion and mark with pins..... Lift up the top layer of fabric and sew the buttons to the underneath layer , lining up to the pins. To make a button hole simply snip a tiny hole in the top layer with the tip of your scissors, the fleece fabric stretches so you only need a very small hole but the major advantage is you don't need to sew the buttonhole ....

In the above picture the button on the right is already through its corresponding button hole. Then step back and admire your handy work.... I can see that my buttons are a little wonky , but never mind :0)  Just turn over and enjoy the Granny Goodness , coz that's the best bit :0) Welcome to our delightful collection of knitting patterns and crochet patterns from all leading brands and authors.

If you are relatively new to crochet, this is a great project for beginners. If you know how to start with a chain, single crochet, and turn, you are in business! 2 skeins Caron Simply Soft in Persimmon Size N crochet hook This project is crocheted with two pieces of yarn at a time. Just take one yarn end from each skein, stick them together, and crochet as if they were one piece of yarn. Now for the easy part. Single crochet 50 rows. You'll end up with a big rectangle, like in the picture above. To turn it into a pillow, fold it in half and insert a pillow form. Using a long piece of extra yarn and the blunt large-eye needle, sew a whip stitch to close up the three open sides. Here's a picture of the whip stitch for those of you who are visual, like me:I LOVE this pillow. The texture is exquisite and the color is scrumptious. Next I'm going to use the same method, but add stripes by switching out colors. Wouldn't that be cute?! *Affiliate links included in this post for your convenience.
