Cake Shoppe Round Cushions

"Crochet a set of dreamy, round lacy cushions that bring elegance, softness, and charm to any space—whether it’s a nursery, bedroom, or cozy reading nook. This free pattern includes four beautiful pillow front styles—each with its own unique flair—so you can mix and match designs to create your perfect set of accent pillows. These feminine, floral-inspired cushions feature gorgeous textures created with shells, clusters, and half double crochet in the 3rd loop. The patterns include swirls, petals, and delicate, cake-like details that look almost good enough to eat! Each design adds its own touch of elegance and whimsy. To elevate the look even more, this pattern takes full advantage of soft ombré yarns. Instead of using the yarn as it comes, the various color sections are separated, wound into mini cakes, and recombined to create a beautifully airbrushed gradient effect in petal pink, rose gold, and clay tones. Each pillow cover is made in two separate halves—a detailed front and a simpler backing (or another fancy front if you prefer double detail!)—and they are joined using a flat slip stitch seam, with a tutorial included for beginners. A sweet scalloped edging can be added around the seam to give it that perfect polished look. "
