YARN - The After Party 50 Honeycomb Cushions

The Honeycomb Cushion, designed by Mark Roseboom of The Guy With The Hook blog, will be sure to draw the attention of many atop your lounge chair or sofa! Through the skilful layering of stitches achieved by the overlay crochet technique, a multidimensional effect is achieved that together with the change in colour that each row brings makes this cushion remarkably eye-catching.

This design features instructions for making the Honeycomb Cushion in Scheepjes Stone Washed and River Washed XL yarns or Scheepjes Our Tribe yarns. Whether you prefer something in fresh citrus shades, deep burgundies or both, Mark offers the maker flexibility of choice and the possibility of two cushions and colourways that can easily combine to create the perfect pair.

The Honeycomb Cushion measures 65 x 40cm (25.5 x 15.75in) once complete. Pattern repeats occur more frequently when using Scheepjes Our Tribe yarn due to the lighter weight of this yarn.
