This is a lovely cushion made from a classic crocheted ‘Granny’ square extended to cover a large cushion pad, 36cm x 36cm. For beginners to crochet, this simple project is very straightforward. And the retro-style cushion will appeal to a wide audience. The yarn, a bamboo blend, gives it a soft, sumptuous quality but you could use almost any firm DK yarn. A cotton yarn would be a good choice.
