Bushel Cushion crochet pattern - digital or hard copy

£3.00

 

Bushel Cushion makes use of just three of the twenty colours of Appledore by John Arbon Textiles. The Bushel Blanket uses all twenty, but the cushion is designed as a more subtle option that also offers a smaller project.

The cushion uses a two-row repeat through the three-colour sequence. The length of fabric is then folded to create an envelope. Finally, a simple double crochet border is added which joins the enveloped fabric to make the cushion cover.

The Appledore wool blend is soft yet crisp. Combined with the stitches, it offers a durable fabric and great stitch definition.

 

A matching Bushel Blanket pattern is also available.

I now operate a ‘pay what you can’ scale for my electronic/downloadable single patterns.  I usually charge £5 for these patterns and to encourage access for all crafters, these are now available on a scale of £3 - £7 and you chose what you can afford within that scale. 

Please note that this doesn’t apply to my hard copy patterns, which remain priced at £5 and come with an automatic digital download.

It would be great to see your finished objects on Instagram - #BushelCushion #FayDHDesigns

Product materials, sourcing and PoM Rating

This product was originated by me at Fay Dashper-Hughes Designs.  This pattern is printed on paper that is manufactured using wind power,100% recycled post-consumer fibre and carbon neutral.  It is printed by me in my studio in Cheshire, England.

Postage and Packaging

You can read all about P&P here.

The P&P costs applied are very transparent.  No additional costs are added on, you simply pay for the cost of packaging and the cost of postage.  I don't offer free P&P because what that usually means is that the cost of P&P has been added to the cost of goods.  I think it is better to assume that my customers aren't daft and would rather have transparent P&P costs than the pretence of 'Free P&P' with inflated prices on the items that they are buying.
