Remember a little while back I made a colourful crochet cushion following the guidance from the brilliant Lucy - Attic24 I made these little summer garden granny squares and they eventually morphed into a cushion.
Well I did love it very much, but my taste leans more towards the 'muted pastel' colours, so I thought that I would gather some lovely soft Baby Cashmere Yarn and knock another one up.
No two squares are alike, this confuddled my poor old brain a bit but I managed.
I laid them out on the coffee table and mixed them up many times before settling on where I wanted them to be.
This one has been a while in the making, as was almost finished but I got distracted with candles and beads ~ I have the attention span of a gnat!
It's even nice on the reverse with all the neat little single crochet (UK) lines joining it all together.
Making these little squares was a pleasure, the colours are just perfect and this yarn is so soft and such a treat to work with, every time I picked up that pink I smiled.
I was looking for a contrasting wool jumper to cut up for the back, but I found this cotton cardigan in white which I thought would be better.
Snipped and hand stitched to the front with a dainty crochet edging and little button holes.
(it's less wonky in real life honest ~ it's the cushion inside thats off kilter!)

I have put this one away for now as there is no more room on my couches, perhaps it will find a home on my bed but it does not match the Rosali set on there at the minute, for now it's stashed away unloved ~ it's yarn cruelty really, please don't report me :)
