Little Nana Square cushion...

This cushion is a order for a lady in town...
I really love these little squares...they make the colours the focus...
and in pure wool it is so soft...

It wasn't too difficult to do these squares...
Just a couple of rows of tr(dc)'s and a outer row of dc(sc)
and hand stitched them together
with a simple whip stitch...

 I really shouldn't say this cushion is "little" thou...
It is about 45cm square...
Nice and Big...
I would look amazing on a plain couch
a real statement piece...

I have called this a Nana Square as I think it would be easily confused with
it's Granny Square counterpart...

    It looks very pretty! And I love the settings in that photo! I don't think I have the patience to make all those small squares, though!

    Thank you Barbara for your question...
    The back is made up of 9 larger squares.
    5 rows in total with a border of dc(sc) around each...
    and whip stitched together...

    This cushion is fab!! And what a great way of using up yarn leftovers. I have just started to learn crochet and would love to get started on a project involving little squares. This could be perfect.

    You're right about the square design providing an emphasis on the lovely colors - from a distance, this looks like it's a quilted pillow! In fact, the layout sort of reminds me of "Elmer the Patchwork Elephant."

    Beautiful crochet work, as always!!

    Dear Voie de vie...
    I did a very simple edge of dc(sc) and added a picot every 6 dc(sc) or so...
    I hope this helps...

    p.s...thank you everyone for your sweet comments!!!
