This pincushion is worked in overlay crochet technique.

Overlay Crochet is deeply rooted in cable and Aran crochet. It creates effects that can only with difficulty be made with traditional techniques. You have symmetrical patterns overlaid with different floral, linear or geometrical patterns as you may find on traditional mosaics, tiles or even mandalas.

Measurements: The pincushion has a diameter of appr. 4.3”/11 cm and a height of appr. 2”/5 cm.

For the pincushion I used cotton yarn (yarn weight: fingering /sport; yardage: 136 yds.; weight: 1.76 ounce) and the hook 3.0 mm.

The pattern is featured with detailed instructions. Each round of the project will be explained through a written instruction and one or more pictures (13 pages).
The pattern contain comprehensive informations on supplies, abbreviation keys, stitch dictionary, stitch count and extra notes to help explain the process.

The pattern uses US crochet terms.
