        \ud83e\uddf6 How to Crochet a Basic Cushion Cover \u2013 Step-by-Step<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        We\u2019ll walk through how to make a simple two-panel cushion cover<\/strong> using the half double crochet stitch<\/strong>. Adjust stitch types as you wish!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \u2705 Step 1: Crochet the Front Panel<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        1. Make a Foundation Chain<\/strong>\n
            \n
          • Chain enough stitches to match the width of your cushion (e.g., CH 41 for 16\u201d wide with worsted yarn).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Row 1:<\/strong>\n
              \n
            • HDC in the 2nd chain from hook and across. Turn.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Repeat Rows<\/strong>\n
                \n
              • Continue working HDC rows until your square matches the height of your pillow (e.g., ~16 rows for 16\u201d).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Fasten off and weave in ends.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                \n\n\n\n

                \u2705 Step 2: Crochet the Back Panel (Two Options)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

                Option A: Solid Back<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Make a second identical square as the front panel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                  Option B: Envelope Closure<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                    \n
                  • Make two rectangles<\/strong>, each covering 2\/3 of the pillow height.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                  • These will overlap to allow insert removal and washing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
                    \n\n\n\n

                    \u2705 Step 3: Assemble the Cover<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
                      \n
                    1. Layer the Panels<\/strong>\n
                        \n
                      • Place the back pieces over the front (right sides facing in if textured).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • Overlap back panels if making an envelope style.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                      • Join the Edges<\/strong>\n
                          \n
                        • SC or SL ST around all four sides, inserting the hook through both layers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • Add 3 SC in each corner for neat turns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                        • Turn Right Side Out<\/strong>\n
                            \n
                          • Flip the cover so the right side is facing out.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                          • Insert the Cushion<\/strong>\n
                              \n
                            • Slip in the pillow insert through the envelope back or buttoned side.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
