Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky cotton yarn in the following colors:
  • Cream
  • Mustard
  • Red
  • Sage
• Hook: 9mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 4 stitches and 4 rows = 4 inches in double crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a magic ring: Using the cream yarn, create a magic ring. This will be the center of your cushion cover.
2. Round 1: Chain 2 (this counts as your first double crochet), then make 11 double crochets (dc) into the magic ring. Join the round by slipping stitch (sl st) to the top of the chain-2. You should have a total of 12 dc.
3. Round 2: Chain 2, then make 2 dc in each stitch around. Join with a sl st. You will have 24 dc at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: Switch to red yarn. Chain 2, then *1 dc in the next stitch, 2 dc in the next stitch* and repeat this pattern around. Join with a sl st. You will have 36 dc.
5. Round 4: Switch to mustard yarn. Chain 2, then *2 dc in the next stitch, 1 dc in the next 2 stitches* and repeat this pattern around. Join with a sl st. You will have 48 dc.
6. Round 5: Switch to sage yarn. Chain 2, then *1 dc in the next 3 stitches, 2 dc in the next stitch* and repeat this pattern around. Join with a sl st. You will have 60 dc.
7. Continue the pattern: Keep alternating colors every round, following the established pattern of increasing by 12 stitches each round. This will create a beautiful mosaic effect.
8. Finishing round: Once you reach your desired size, finish with a round of single crochet (sc) in cream yarn for a neat edge. This will give your cushion cover a polished look.
9. Weave in ends: Use a yarn needle to weave in all ends securely. This will ensure your cushion cover is durable and tidy.
10. Block to shape: Lightly block your cushion cover to shape it nicely. This will enhance the texture of your stitches and give it a professional finish.
