checks & stripes

Checkered, double checkered, crochet cushion.

Made with the softest yarn from Marrakech.

The handmade checkered crochet pillow is reversible and has two frontsides. One with white and lilac and the other side with white, lilac, raspberry pink, pastel pink, bright blue, pale blue and yellow.

The colors reflect in the cover that I made from striped Moroccan woven blankets, for the vintage bamboo daybed.

As a matter of fact I wanted to keep it myself, but you can't keep everything, right?

The checkered crochet cushion is available in my Etsy shop.

View from the bamboo daybed. And another day at home.
I’m feeling pretty good right now and I discovered during the last 'quarantine months', I can be a house sparrow, as we say in the Netherlands.
I don't mind to spend a lot of time at home. I also realize I have variety to go to work 3 times a week, no doubt that makes a lot of difference!

checkered, double checkered

Checkered, double checkered, crochet cushion done.

I started the checkered crochet last month and while I was working on a new design for a pillow cover, I stopped halfway.

Not because I didn't like it, but because I was wondering how amazing this pattern would work on a xs woodwoolstool. Hahaha, these kind of jumps I make more often. Creating something while my mind is already working on the next project.

So I put the unfinished pillow project on hold and I started on a checkered mini stool cover.
You might have seen how cute the checkered mini stool has become. And yes, it's a keeper, the cutest piece of furniture in our new bedroom.

I wanted to make another one for sale and that one was gone in a blink.
Unfortunately I ran out of moroccan mini stools, so fingers crossed if all goes well I can bring new ones from the souk in October.

But luckily another cool crochet task was waiting for me and I finished the checkered pillow cover last weekend. The cover has two different sides. One side is white & lilac and the other side is multicolored with 6 different blocks in checkered pattern.

In the same colors I used for the mini stool cover; white, lilac, raspberry pink, pastel pink, bright blue, pale blue and yellow.

The checkered crochet cushion is now available in my Etsy shop and there is only one.
