This cushion/pillow is a fantastic project for beginner crochet and is ideal for practising single crochet, increasing and working in the round. I used Ice Magic Light self striping yarn because I love the effect and it makes both sides look different. I used a 16” cushion pad but you could just crochet both pieces together and stuff with toy filling. By increasing the rounds you can make the cushion bigger or decreasing the rounds to make it smaller.
Great for pets too as a squashy bed.
