Simply Love Mosaic Cushion Cover - Crochet Pattern

Picture this: a cosy corner of your home adorned with a beautiful crocheted cushion. Intrigued? Keep reading 😄.

Imagine my delight when the lovely folks at Crochet Foundry extended an invitation to design a crochet pattern using their Furls products. Inspired to create something cosy-feeling yet beginner-friendly, with a dash of mosaic crochet thrown in, I settled on a cushion cover design. Why? Because every home deserves a touch of handmade warmth, and every beginner deserves a delightful adventure. With a motif that could look at home on any chair or sofa, I chose a symphony of three colors on one side, and two on the other. It's a housewarming gift waiting to be cherished.

Crochet Video Blog - Episode 10

Welcome back to episode 10 of the Elimee Designs crochet video blog! I hope you all had a wonderful Easter break with your loved ones, just like we did. In this episode, I will tell you about some of the fun activities we did over the Easter holidays, including dying eggs and indulging in some chocolate for breakfast (with some unexpected consequences!).

But that's not all - I also have some exciting new crochet projects to share with you. While I did fall behind on finishing some gifts in time (oops!), I'm sure you'll still find inspiration in the projects we've completed so far (including some new upcoming patterns!). Whether you're looking to create something for yourself or to gift to others, you'll find plenty of inspiration in this episode.

10 Crochet Patterns for Mother’s Day Gifts

Not long now until Mother’s Day - 19th March 2023. Are you planning to crochet something for your mother this year? I designed the Aphrodite Cushion Cover last year to give to my mother on Mother’s Day. As you might already know, she didn’t actually receive it… my daughters decided that they couldn’t do without it lol.

This year I am making amends! I gifted my daughter a pink version of the cushion for Christmas; when my mum saw it she asked for one in grey for Mother’s Day. It seems that she was destined to eventually get her own Aphrodite Cushion lol. She picked out her own colours and the yarn has now been ordered - check out my video blog over the next few episodes if you’d like to see how it goes :)

The original cushion cover (featured above) was crocheted as a Mother’s Day gift…. however, as you can see my girls had other ideas!
