[@wendylandau4830]

Beautiful idea, never would have thought to make one big square and fold it over. I would have made two sides. I like your idea much better. Thank you for sharing your work! Wendy Landau

Simply beautiful.

[@barbaragillispie9993]

Love the cushion.beautiful colors.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Thanks so much for your reply and thanks for watching! xxx

[@GardenJensJourney]

Thanks for explaining the stitch you used to sew the sides. I always do a single crochet, going through BOTH loops of each stitch, unless the pattern said otherwise. However knowing the information you shared here really helps if I'm wanting to keep a "flatter" seam.

[@OpheliaTalks]

You are so welcome Jen, enjoy! Anja x

What a FANTASTIC idea for a quick gift!! Wish I had seen this before the Holidays would have made for gifts....but never too late am going to start right now with red, green and white....oh how about red, white and blue for Independence Day & hubby's born on 4th of July!! Do you think you could leave a washable pillow inside and just throw whole pillow on delicate in washer and would come out ok if you laid flat to dry?? Love your channel!! Hugs, A

[@bjandmercy]

That is a better idea then what I have lol 😍. I think my family and friends are getting tired of the scarves I keep making them lol

[@annasullivan4946]

Where we live it gets bitter cold we are now looking at wind-chill at -30 to -35 this wk-end And temps not above zero. So on that note if you do like making scarves/hats and just need a home for them how about hanging them on trees where people passing by can just take one in case they are cold or caught without one? Just a thought.....A @@bjandmercy

[@lallyladyoflallybroch]

Beautiful its the perfect twin to my zigzag grannycluster blanket that i make now for a christmas Gift for a friend. But i have a quastion to the masurement for the cushion inlet. If the cushion inlet is 35 x 35cm how big must be the finished grannysquare?? Because i think the square at the end must be a little bit bigger so that its Not to tight at the end when the square must sew around the cushion inlet, isnt it🤔🤔 LG lally 😊

Great pattern. Numbers isn't my thing lol. If its a 35 in cushion do u just dbl it to make it fit all around? Thanks 😊

[@aliciareyes6091]

Pretty

[@aleph-vy9tm]

very nice but I always wonder how it will be washed. It seems difficult to unstitch it :((

[@KrissD.]

Hi there 😊 I was wondering could u add a button to the center of this where u closed it up at where all 4 triangles meet instead of sewing up to remove for washing? If so ho could I go about that? 💜🫶💜

[@OpheliaTalks]

That's a great idea Kriss! I'm sure it'd be quite simple, maybe make a small loop, and on one flap attach the button, so the other flaps close to it. Good luck, Anja x

[@hashirkhattak2325]

I am also making it

[@OpheliaTalks]

That is absolutely wonderful!! xx

[@KS-bg3sp]

Beautiful! How do you stop the granny square from tilting to one side?

[@OpheliaTalks]

The trick is to turn your work after every round, Anja x

[@astridspek8214]

Loveit 🥰❤️

[@hhspore]

It's so pretty. Love it. The only concern I have is unpicking the stitches if I need to wash the cushion. It would be disastrous if one accidentally cuts the cushion crochet stitches instead of the binding stitches ! How do we prevent that ?

[@OpheliaTalks]

Put a few buttons on one side …

[@charlottebarnes6761]

Your chair pads can you use acrylic yarn thanks 👍👍👍👍😊😊😊

[@OpheliaTalks]

Yes you can, in fact these are made in acrylic! Thank you Charlotte, Anja x

[@charlottebarnes6761]

@@OpheliaTalks thank you for answering. Very much appreciated

[@pattycrochets2559]

I truly like the look of this cushion cover! Do you know how much yarn is required for a 14" pillow? Would one 50 gram skein each of 4 colors be sufficient?

[@OpheliaTalks]

The only way to find out is to try as you also have to take the thickness into account! Good luck!Thanks for watching and keep watching! xxx

[@champeauxelisa9985]

Hi ! Thank you fort this tutorial ! How many grams of yarns did you use ?

[@OpheliaTalks]

Hi champeauxelisa9985, I don't recall now, if l haven't said in the video then just keep going with the square until you can fold it round your cushion filler to fit snuggly. Hope this helps, Anja x

[@jojolou75]

How much yarn in weight would you say you used for this project? I'm worried I will run out. I'm still quite new to crochet.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Hi Jo, I'm sorry, this was such a long time ago, and if I remember correctly I was using up stash yarn myself, I don't know how much I used now.... Anja x

I mention it at the start of the video! Anja x

I am deaf, and am having problems with getting the KZbin captions and transcript to work at the moment, hence my question. But thanks for taking the trouble not to answer my simple request.

If you had explained the above I would have been aware…apologies. My cushion that I used measured 14 x 14 inches, Anja x

[@melodymaben5917]

How do you do the open end ? Where do ya start at?

[@OpheliaTalks]

It's a square, you start in the middle and there is no open end, you sew it on. Anja x

[@melodymaben5365]

How do you connect the last corner to the already sewed one's ?

[@OpheliaTalks]

Hi Melody, you would connect to the centre the same way as you did the other corners, using the corner chain spaces. Hope this helps! Anja x

How is it to be opened for a wash

[@OpheliaTalks]

I wash the entire thing, but if you want to remove the cover for washing just add a zip, or velcro, hope this helps. Anja x

[@royalty2924Love]

so how do you take it off to wash it ?

[@OpheliaTalks]

I suggest you mark the last edge you sew together, then unpick it, wash a sew it back up again! Anja x

[@sheetalbhimani9173]

This process will repeat after every wash. Is there any other way to do

[@alzcar71224]

Is it not a recoverable cover?

[@OpheliaTalks]

no it isn't.

[@radhaiyer1647]

It’s very beautiful……but I would prefer a fancy button & a loop to hold rather than remove the crochet fr washing……Thanq

[@OpheliaTalks]

That is of course up to you, you can add a button and loop if you feel like it if you want to remove the cover for washing! Anja x

[@shohanisarmin4663]

Can’t it be easy removable to wash?

[@OpheliaTalks]

This was made as a wash complete item, but I imagine you could finish one corner with slip stitches to make it removable if you wish, Anja x

[@suesachaj687]

Is it always 3 crochets and 2 spaces

[@soonchitachakraborty8583]

How can I make it removable?

with adding some buttons. Thanks for watching my video soonchita chakraborty and keep crocheting. Anja xxx💕🌈💕
