Fluffy crochet pillow

 Round Cushion Project number 2. 🌸

Hello everyone, I’ve finally moved on to another round cushion. This one was quite time-consuming because of the endless rows of ruffles — or petals, depending on how you see them.

The whole piece has a very floral look, and I’m really happy with the result. I kept the back plain, without any decoration, partly because I ran out of yarn and partly because I ran out of patience.

🧶 Materials & Process

For this project, I used Red Heart baby yarn (100% acrylic) along with some blue fantasy satin yarn.

I experimented a lot with the pattern, trying several different options as I worked with a limited amount of yarn.

I hope you like the result. I don’t plan to make more cushions anytime soon, but I still have a few ideas from this project that I’d like to use in the future. I really like the fluffy, dreamy, soft texture — it makes it a cute little piece for decorating a cosy, feminine space.

A small piece from a bigger idea

Today I want to share one of my recent projects—a cute, flora-inspired cushion I made last week.

Originally, I had a grand plan. A whole collection of cushions inspired by nature: flowers, seasons, colours… the full poetic vision.

Then reality stepped in and reminded me that I do not, in fact, live in a castle with infinite storage.

So the collection has been… paused. I have two more cushions to finish, and the rest will have to wait for better (and more spacious) times.

The pattern (simple and very flexible)

This cushion is based on a very simple hexagon motif. It’s easy to follow, easy to count, and very adaptable.

You can use the same idea to make:

• cushions
• bags
• blankets
• rugs

Basically, anything that benefits from a repeating pattern and a bit of patience.

The one I made is about 30 cm in diameter, but the size is completely up to you. You can adjust the number of rows, use a different base, or scale it however you like.

Materials and making

For this kind of project, almost any yarn will work, which makes it perfect for using up leftovers (always a bonus).

You can either sew your own cushion base or buy one in your preferred shape and size.

In my case, I had some help—my mum sewed 10 round cushion inserts for me, and we filled them with silicone fluff. So now I have a small stock of ready bases, just waiting for new cover ideas in the coming months.

A simple pattern, a bit of colour, and suddenly you have something soft, decorative, and very satisfying.

Now I just need more space… or significantly less ambition 🌿
