Oceanborn cushion kit

In this kit, you will find a specially dyed selection of yarns for the Oceanborn cushion. The kit contains enough yarn to make two squares – so that a cushion can be made.

The kit contains 5 skeins of 50 grams of wool. Each 50 grams of yarn has a length of 200 meters and has a base of 75% superwash wool and 25% nylon. The yarn is washable up to 30 degrees; do this in the machine on a wool wash program.

- The kit contains a pattern booklet in the language of your choice - and the 5 x 50-gram skeins required. Please note! The kit does not include a 40 x 40 cm inner cushion. You will need to purchase this separately.

This pattern is made with a specially dyed set from Veluwsch Verfgoed - you can find this in the TGWTH kit section of the shop.

Yarns required: The cushion is made in a set of hand-dyed yarn from Veluwsch Verfgoed. The set consists of four colors of merino sock yarn, which are made up of 75% merino superwash and 25% nylon. You need 100 grams of color A and 50 grams of the other three colors. These quantities are enough for 2 sides of the cushion cover and the finishing. For a single square, use half of the quantities. I dyed this color scheme specifically for this pattern, but of course, you can use any fingering weight yarn you wish. For colors B-D, I used three colors that complement each other in terms of color from light to dark.

Color A: Veluwsch sneeuwdek (100 grams/ 400 meters needed)

Color B: Oceanborn 1 (50 grams/ 200 meters needed)

Color C: Oceanborn 2 (50 grams/ 200 meters needed)

Color D: Oceanborn 3 (50 grams/ 200 meters needed)

Crochet hook required:

In this pattern, you use a 3.0 mm crochet hook for the cushion cover.
If you only want to crochet one square for a blanket, use a 3.5 mm square for more stretch.

Size: one square for one side measures approx. 37 cm wide and high. The finished dimensions change to 40 cm when you add the cushion. Other supplies: one cushion measuring 40 x 40 cm.

Special notes:

- The pattern works in Rounds, which means you only crochet on the right side of the work.

- The square is smaller than the inner cushion to fill the cover. This is to keep the cushion airy and to fill all four corners well. The cushion looks nice if the cover is not too large.

- When making puff stitches, always ensure that you close the stitch with a chain and then make another chain when the pattern indicates that you should make a 1 ch after a puff stitch.

- Consult the internet if you want to know which stitches are used in this pattern. There are many videos and tutorials available, as they are all regular stitches.

- There are written instructions for this pattern, accompanied by diagrams. I have not included photos because the diagrams provide much more insight into the construction of this dynamic pattern and the pattern consists of many stitches that fall close together. Additionally, the yarn used is a somewhat hairy fiber, so the photos do not exactly provide a clear picture.
