Info

The cushion is made of 2 hearts, worked in dc stitches. Both hearts are joined to a center part worked in Wink’s favourite faux knitting stitch.

As we all crochet in a different way, the amount of left overs and colours you have left from your blanket will vary for everyone. Therefore, this ‘basic’ pattern is written, giving you plenty of possibilities to use your own imagination and colour choices.
