Wattle Stitch Crochet Cushion Pattern

Wattle Stitch Crochet Cushion Pattern | Free Crochet Pattern

The wattle stitch takes 2 of the basic crochet stitches and creates a wonderful texture that can also be used to create an interesting colour pattern too.

This easy crochet cushion pattern as an easy 1 row repeat, which is worked to create 2 squares that are joined before added an interlocking arched edging.

Below you will find both the written pattern and a video tutorial to ensure that you can complete this crochet cushion with confidence.

I'd like to give my thanks to Furls Crochet for providing the yarn (and hook tray pictured) to allow me to create this pattern, and the Crochet Foundry for hosting their annual blog hop and for including me in their event again - it's always a pleasure.

I was also lucky enough to be featured in the Crochet Foundry Blog Hop last year where I showcased the Bold and Bright Bobbles Shawl pattern.

The pattern uses the bobble stitch to add some much needed texture to break up the simplicity of the basic stitches.

What colour will you make your cushion?

I love it when you can recreate a crochet pattern in your own style. This pattern is easy to make it your own by selecting the colours you love.

Below, you can see the cushions created by my amazing pattern testers and the colours they chose to use - I REALLY love the festive version worked up in Red and White.
