In an attempt to stop leaving yarn needles in the arm of the couch, I decide to make some pincushions. This floral pincushion is crocheted with a feltable yarn, and then felted so it can be stuffed tight without the stuffing poking out.

Size:
4 inches across after felting

Yarn:
Red Heart Eco~Ways Bamboo Wool was used in the sample, but it is discontinued. Any feltable worsted weight yarn will work. A sport or DK weight will work as well, however the final pincushion will be smaller.

Hook:
US 8/H/5 mm

Gauge:
Not so important, though my flowers measured 5” across before felting.

Stitches and Skills used:
ch ~ chain
sl st ~ slip stitch
sc ~ single crochet
hdc ~ half double crochet
st(s) ~ stitch(es)
sp(s) ~ space(s)

Other supplies:
Yarn needle
Small amount of stuffing
