Limelle Cushion

Design by Miroslava Mihalkova from Exquisite Crochet UK.

The Limelle Cushion, Tunisian crochet cushion, is a wonderful addition to your living room; it can spice up the look of neutral décor sofa or armchair or add a quirky modern look to a colourful family of cushions.

The cushion is made using Tunisian crochet technique using stranded colourwork. This is an entry level project that allows crocheters to master the skill without worrying too much about trapping the strands as the wrong side of the project is hidden inside of the cushion, forgiving to any inconsistencies.

The sample is made in 4 colours, using cotton and bamboo sport weight yarn by Hobbii.
