Running Rings Around Granny Bolster | Premium Crochet Patterns

I love designing modern crochet patterns that feature the crochet granny stitch and I have lost count of the number of designs I have made that feature it! From a teapot cosy, a crochet wrap and even a headband!

Working the granny stitch in stripes of different colours really makes the stitches stand out and livens up the whole design! In this bolster cushion pattern, the colour changes every row so it really pops!

I really love how functional this cushion is and just how comfy it makes my crochet time! It really eliminates the discomfort from my lower back from bad posture!

Taking the time to sew in a zip, allows for those coffee spills (why did I chose cream as the main colour haha) and means you can keep it clean as the LoveCrafts Simply Chunky is machine washable and I have found it quite hardwearing! It’s the perfect yarn for this project.
