Countryside Farm

I am doing a craft show at Bristish Wool week in September. I was asked to make some farm themed crochet items to go as part of a large display to raise money for Help for Heroes.

Have a good day

Caledonia Textured Cushion

This is a pattern I designed to give my students the chance to practice different crochet textures.  Made up of four different squares this is a simple cushion to crochet.

The pattern is available in my Etsy shop.

I am now working on a different colour and using cotton double knitting. 

Happy crocheting,
Alison
