Materials Needed

• Hook: 4.0 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 16 stitches and 20 rows = 4 inches in single crochet
• Scissors for cutting yarn
• Tapestry needle for weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring by wrapping the yarn around your fingers and pulling a loop through.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochet (sc) stitches into the magic ring. Pull the tail of the yarn to tighten the ring.
3. Round 2: Increase in each stitch around. You should have 12 stitches at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: *Single crochet in the next stitch, increase in the next stitch.* Repeat this pattern around. You will have 18 stitches at the end of this round.
5. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing in this manner (1 sc, inc) until your piece measures 16 inches in diameter. Make sure to check your measurements periodically.
6. Switch to Silver Yarn: Once you reach the desired diameter, change to your silver yarn.
7. Round 10: *Single crochet in the next 2 stitches, chain 5, skip 3 stitches.* Repeat this pattern around to create star motifs. Ensure that the star shapes are evenly spaced out.
8. Fasten Off: Once you complete the round, fasten off the silver yarn and weave in the ends using a tapestry needle.
9. Create a Second Piece: Repeat steps 1 through 8 to create an identical piece for the back of the cushion cover.
10. Join Both Pieces: Place the two pieces together with the right sides facing each other. Join them with single crochet around the edges, leaving one side open for the cushion insert.
11. Insert Cushion: Carefully insert your cushion into the cover through the open side.
12. Close the Cushion Cover: Continue to single crochet around the open edge to close the cushion cover securely.
13. Add Star Embroidery: For an extra touch, use the silver yarn to embroider additional star details on the surface of the cushion cover.
