Crochet this jacquard, circular cushion from Kaleidoscope. A design by Jane Crowfoot using Wool Cotton 4ply, a high twist blend yarn that gives great stitch definition (wool and cotton), this cushion can be made in whichever wonderful colour combination will fit your colour scheme.

This is a simple idea to make any cushion into a statement piece for your home. We crocheted 2 panels in cocoon here and then crocheted the Kidsilk Creation to make a centre ruffle piece. This was done by simply crocheting along one edge of the creation and then going back over on the other side, pulling the yarn through as you go to create the ruffles.

You can add onto an existing garment to give it a new lease of life, by simply crocheting down the centre of the Kidsilk Creation and through the knitted garment to create this ruffled effect on either edge of this jacket. Depending on how ruffled you want the panels will depend on how far away you space your sts.

This beautiful necklace was designed by fashion student Elisa Etemad and was chosen as a finalist in the Rowan Design Awards 2010.
