Bring the beauty of nature indoors with the In Bloom Cushions, a radiant duo of botanically inspired designs interpreted with a modern, graphic feel. What do you see? A seed head, perhaps, or a perfectly formed flower in full summer bloom.

The smaller cushion, is all about soft detail. Puff stitches create gentle texture, while a playful ruffle border adds a light-hearted flourish. Featured in three warm shades of Scheepjes Colour Crafter, the colour placement is reversed on the back — a thoughtful detail that makes efficient use of yarn and offers a subtle variation when turned. 

Bigger in scale, the other cushion is made using the tapestry crochet technique. Post stitches form the surface design, while popcorn stitches add bursts of texture that suggest seeds nestled in pods. Worked in joined rounds and seamed into place, the design holds its shape with a gently stretched finish. 

Styled together in coordinating colours or displayed as stand-alone pieces, these cushions offer a satisfying way to explore shape and stitch on an achievable scale.
