A Chrysanthemum flower inspired this soft and tactile cushion. I love the deep texture created by adding a simple picot layer to the front of the cushion. You can use any combination of shades to suit your own home, from bright, summery colours to monochrome shades.

Construction:
Crocheted in rounds in 2 halves (front and back), with the textured layer added separately to the front.

About the Yarn:
Wendy Ramsdale is 100% British wool made from a blend of Masham fleece from the Yorkshire Dales and is dyed, spun and balled in Yorkshire. Each of the 12 colours is named after Yorkshire Town and the colour palette is gorgeous. It’s a DK weight, so you could substitute any standard DK yarn.
