Crafty Cushion

Not the greatest picture as the daylight had gone !

I had a 100g ball of chunky wool in berry shades in my stash which needed using, so after a bit of experimentation I devised a pattern for a cushion. It is 50sts wide worked on 6.5mm needles, single rib for 12 rows then garter stitch 160 rows then another 12 rows rib ( I worked 3 buttonholes on row 7). I finished it yesterday and my mum sewed it up for me this afternoon . I really should learn how to do this myself! It matches quite well with the current colour scheme of my lounge which is chocolate and deep red. Now this is finished I am planning a granny square experiment to do a bit more stashbusting, I have never manged to master crocheting in the round(square) so wish me luck!
