How to Make a Chevron Pattern Cushion Cover
Are you ready to add a touch of beauty and elegance to your living space? In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of creating a stunning cushion cover with a Chevron pattern. With just a few materials and some basic crochet skills, you can create a beautiful cushion cover that will enhance the aesthetic appeal of any room. So, let's dive in and get started!
Materials Needed
Before we begin, let's gather all the materials needed for this project. Here's what you'll need:
- Lightweight #3 acrylic yarn
- 3.5 millimeter crochet hook
- Slip knot
Now that we have all the necessary materials, it's time to start creating our Chevron pattern cushion cover.
Step 1: Making the Chains
To begin, create a slip knot and make chains in multiples of 19. Additionally, make one extra chain. We will make four sets of 19 chains for this pattern. This will serve as the foundation for the Chevron pattern.
Step 2: Row 1 - Single Crochet
In this step, we will be working on Row 1. Insert the crochet hook into the next chain and make a single crochet. Repeat this step for each chain, making sure to make a single crochet in each chain until you reach the end of the row.
Step 3: Creating Chevron Pattern
Now that we have completed Row 1, it's time to create the Chevron pattern. Flip the work and you will notice that we have two loops of each chain. Use the back loop of each chain and make two single crochets together. This will be the first and last two single crochets together in each row. Repeat this pattern, making eight single crochets and then making a peak by making three single crochets in the 9th chain. Continue this pattern until you reach the end of the row.
Step 4: Repeating the Chevron Pattern
Continue repeating the Chevron pattern for the next rows. Flip the work, make a chain, and use the back loops to make two single crochets together. Then, make eight single crochets and create a peak by making three single crochets in the 9th chain. Repeat this pattern until you reach the desired size for your cushion cover.
Step 5: Continuing Rows
Keep repeating the pattern as mentioned in Step 4 until you achieve the desired size for your cushion cover. The Chevron pattern is super stretchy, so it will easily fit the cushion when inserted.
Step 6: Completing the Base
Once you have reached the desired size for the base of your cushion cover, you can finish off the edges. Insert the hook into the loops along the sides and make single crochets to create a clean finish. This will give your cushion cover a polished look.
Step 7: Creating the Cover
Now that the base is complete, it's time to create the cover for your cushion. Fold the cover in half, making sure 13 inches are on the backside and 13 inches are on the front side. Overlap the remaining 5 inches to form the opening where you will insert the cushion.
Step 8: Joining the Sides
To join the sides of the cover, insert the crochet hook into the loops on both sides and make single crochets to join them together. Repeat this step until you have joined both sides, leaving the opening for inserting the cushion.
Step 9: Inserting the Cushion
Once the sides are joined, insert the cushion into the cover through the opening. Adjust the cushion as needed to ensure a snug fit.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have successfully created a Chevron pattern cushion cover. This beautiful and elegant cushion cover will add a touch of style to your living space.
