Crochet Cushion Cover 3, Square Pillow Cover

 

Hi,

This third pattern is very different. It dose'nt cover the cushion but it just fits as a cap on cushion. I made it with three granny squares. It really looks very beautiful.

Yarn: Vardhamaan Millenium, Weight 100 gm approx.

Granny square:

R1: With white yarn, (dc1, ch1) 8 times, in a mag loop, cl, BO.

Join yellow yarn at any ch2-sp.

R2: (5 dc tog in ch2-sp, ch2) 8 times, cl.

Join green yarn at any ch2-sp

R3: [dc3 in ch2-sp, ch1, (dc3, ch2, dc3), called shell, in next ch2-sp, ch1] 4 times, cl.

Join another shade of green. Now we work on two sides only.

Row 4: (dc3, ch1) 3 times, shell on shell, (dc3, ch1) 2 times, dc3. BO.

R5: ch3+1, (dc3, ch1) 3 times, shell on shell, (ch1, dc3 in ch1-sp) 3 times, ch1, dc1 in last sp. BO.

Join white yarn at ch2-sp of shell. Here we work along all 4 sides.

R6: [shell on shell, (ch1, dc3) 3 times] 4 times, cl. BO.

Make 3 such granny squares which will measure nearly 12”if placed like this.

Join dark green yarn at the left corner.

R1: ch3, (dc3 in next gap, ch1) 3 times, then without making ch1, dc3 in the first gap of second granny square it’s after shell, (ch1, dc3) 3 times on second granny,

R2: ch3 turn, (dc3, ch1) 2 times, dc3 in last gap of first granny, dc3 in first gap (after shell) of second granny, (ch1, dc3) 2 times, dc1 in last gap.

R3: ch3 turn, dc3, ch1, dc3 in first granny, dc3 in gap of second granny, ch1 dc3, ch1, dc1 in last gap.

R4: ch3 turn, dc3 in second granny, dc3 in first granny, dc1 in last gap.

Lastly ch3, sl st at joint, ch3, sl st at last dc.

Similarly make triangle and fill the space between second and third granny squares.

Now to fill end gap and to get straight shape at the top, turn and join green yarn at the first gap after shell. So that R1 will be on wrong side.

R1: (dc3, ch1) 2 times, dc1 in last gap.

R2: ch3 turn, (dc3, ch1) 3 times, dc1 in last sp.

R3: ch3 turn, (dc3, ch1) 2 times, dc1 in last gap

R4: ch3 turn, dc3, ch1, dc 1 in last gap.

Similarly make triangular portion and fill last gap to appear it as,

Then we work on this new top side.

R1: dc2 in each gap, if necessary make dc 1 at joint.

After R1 we have 64 sts.

R2: ch3, turn, (skip 2 sts, dc3 in next gap) rep till end, lastly skip 2 sts, dc1 in last st.

Join next color yarn.

R3: dc2 in first and last gap, dc3 in each gap in between.

R4: dc1 in first and last st, dc3 in each gap in between.

Repeat R3 and R4 with another shade of green and then by white color.

Then repeat R3 and R4 by dark green till there are 16 more rows.

Fold and sew by tapestry needle till other end joins granny’s corner.

Make tassels and join them as shown in photo 2.

Wear it as if a cap to the cushion. If you want you can make a simple chord of chains to tie the middle point from front to back.
