Step by step

• Foundation chain: crochet 38 chains (approximately 50 cm).
• Row 1: 1 dc in the third chain from the hook, then continue across the entire row. Turn. (36 dc)

🔸 Joining and finishing

• Place both pieces with the right sides facing out.
• Join the edges with slip stitch (sl st) or single crochet (sc) around three sides.
• Insert the 50 x 50 cm cushion filling.
• Close the fourth side in the same way.

(If you prefer to be able to remove the filling, you can close the fourth side with a zipper or decorative buttons)

Decorative edge (optional)

Work one extra round around the cushion in crab stitch (backward single crochet) with ecru or sand-colored trapillo for a contrasting, handcrafted finish.

Idealium tips

• Keep the tension even so that the pieces remain square.
• You can make the cushion in one color or combine colors.
• You can combine two cushions in natural shades, such as moss green and beige, for a perfect set.

Final result
