HOW TO MAKE THE CORTADURA CUSHION?

• We will work the cushion in two pieces, one upper with Nature and one lower with Lluvia.
• Each piece will be worked with a different hook, 3.5mm for Nature and 4.5mm for Lluvia.
• Both pieces have the same structure: a circular-crocheted center and 5 points crocheted in rows.
• The bottom piece (Caricia Lluvia) will be slightly smaller than the top, to give the cushion a fluffy effect.
• Once both pieces are crocheted, we will join them with a darning needle.
• First, stuff the points, giving special attention to the tip.
• Finish stuffing the entire cushion and sew the remaining opening closed with a darning needle.
• If you have any questions, feel free to contact me and I will be happy to help you. Enjoy!

Without cutting the yarn, we start the first point (1ch and turn at the end of each row):

1. 42sc
2. All sc
3. All sc
4. Skip 1sc - all sc
5. Skip 1sc - all sc

Repeat from row 2 to row 5 until the last row ends with only one sc and you have a total of 79 rows. Fasten off and cut the yarn. Start crocheting again in row 53 of the center piece, right after the last of the 42sc of row 1 of the previous point. And repeat all rows exactly the same. Repeat this 3 more times until you have 5 points.
