The next show piece lokks like embroidery work or cross stitch work, But it is not. It is purely CROCHET. The whole piece is made of single crochet stitches only.
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.
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.

Friends this is the second design of Cushion cover. Here also we start as a granny square but make it only for front side. Then on back side we e xtend it on all four sides by working triangles.
Yarn: Vardhamaan Millenium 4 ply, 3.5 mm. size 12" x 12".
PATTERN:
R1: in a magic loop make [(puff, ch2, puff) called shell, ch2] 4 times, cl.
Sl st till ch2-sp
R2: [dc1 in each of the 3 chs, shell on shell]4times, cl.
R3: [dc2 in first gap (before first dc), don't 3 dcs, dc2 in gap after last dc, shell on shell] 4 times, cl.
There are 7 dcs in between Two shells.
R4: [dc2 in the fsp before first dc, dc on each dc, dc2 in gap after last dc, shell on shell] 4 times, cl.
Repeat R4 till the length is same as length of the cushion.
Now the back side we made in a different manner. Ofcourse you can use the technique as in first cushion and make this granny of length equal to the diameter.
Four triangles on back side.
For triangle join yarn in any ch2-sp of shell.
Row1: ch3, (skip 3 sts, dc3 in next) rep till next corner.
There are 12 dc3 groups. The number will be same as the rounds made for granny.
R2: ch3 turn, dc3 in each gap, dc1 in last sp
There are 11 dc 3-groups.
Thus continue till there are only two dc3-groups.
Lastly dc1, then in between two dc3-groups make (dc1, ch2, dc1) (instead of dc3), dc 1 in last sp. BO
Similarly complete all three sides.
Then fold on back side and sew from corner till half side.
Make chord by three threads and make chs.
Then make tassels.
Make ch2. (puff1 in first ch, thread one bead) 5 times, cl.
Make such three and join by big bead.
Sew it at the centre, or make two and sew them at two corners as in the first cushion.
