Crochet Cushions...

I have been researching into Crochet especially into 70's 

crochet, how they used it in both fashion and interiors. 

Looking at the colours that they seemed to have used 

dark colours such as Mustard, Green, Dark Blues and Browns. From this 

I will be using Green,Orange and light Beige. I will be using these as I  feel they 

will represent the 70's well. 

My yarns for the cushion

When looking into crochet I have seen that they tended to use 

this technique for everything from interiors to hot pants (see images below).

Crochet was popular in the 70's as it was easy to get the bright acrylic yarns and

it was easy to get a hook and follow a pattern, this links in well with my packs as  crochet

in the 70's was a do it yourself activity.

Crochet hot pants and dresses 

This is the technique that I will using for my cushion. This pattern is called a Granny Square,

I will be using this as it is one of the most popular Crochet patterns as it 

continues to just go round and round giving a textured outcome with a neat finish.  

 

As you can see from these cushions Crochet was used a lot in 

interiors in the 70's.
