This is a step-by-step tutorial for cushion which have been hand knitted and crocheted. The pattern includes detailed photos with instructions how to make it -- useful for beginners.

1) crochet yarn (I used Premium Acrylic DK yarn) snow-white (as a basic colour) and a few pale colours (peach, lilac, pink) for the flower's bordering. Total weight of the cushion cover with appliques is 396 g.  2) tapestry needles 5 mm;   3) crochet hook (I used hook size H8/5mm);  4) curtain rings 1.7-1.8 cm (17-18 mm);     5) 4 buttons;   6) tapestry needle.
This pattern is for a cushion measuring approximately 36-40 cm (about 14-15 inches) square.     The size of the cushion cover will vary depending on the type of yarn, hook and needle size and how tightly you knit or crochet.
