I'm on the cover.

My Jubilee Cushion design is on the cover of Let's Get Crafting Knit and Crochet Issue 40 out now.  So excited about it being showcased as the the main cover photograph.   I really enjoyed creating the knitting pattern and chart for the cushion and hope lots of knitters have fun making it.

I joined the motifs together by working single crochet on the outward facing edges to form a defined border between each square.

First I joined five squares together at a time, then when I had five strips, I joined these together.  The finishing edge around the whole piece is worked in double crochet stitches.

To make a cushion: Make two pieces as shown in the photo above, or make one piece as shown above and a second one as a single large Granny Square.

Place the pieces together with the right sides facing out and crochet three of the sides together using Double Crochet stitches.  Place the cushion pad inside and crochet the final side together.
