Notes you need to know before start
- You will need 24 granny squares and 24 granny triangles to make this cushion.
- 48 total pieces, 24 on each side.
- Once all the squares and triangles are finished, they are joined using a single crochet to make two large square panels first which measure 17”x17”.
Picking Colors to the project
- I had lots of scrap yarn from other projects. So I chose 6 contrasting colors and white as the main color.
- I made 4 squares and 4 triangles with one contrasting color. So you will have 4 squares and 4 triangles in each 6 of colors.
Add more details with fur yarns!
- To feel it more cosy and snuggle, make fur edges to every seaming line using slip stitches.
- And then join large squares together to make a cushion and lastly add fur edge to the cushion to finish.

Joining granny squares and triangles
Arrange the 12 squares and 12 triangles as shown in the image above. I selected 2 squares and triangles in same color from each contrasting color. Don’t forget to arrange the pieces by color evenly all over. Start joining pieces together using single crochet.
Hold 2 pieces together facing the wrong side (WS) each other. Start from the middle st of the 3 st at the corner of both pieces. Insert the hook into the both loop of each piece and start to crochet with single crochet until the middle stitch of the next corner. Pick another two and repeat this method to join all the squares and triangles to make a large square. Make 2 large square panels.
Edging: (make edging to the each panel)
(RS), join white color yarn and crochet sc in around the penal, when reach to the corner (the last st of the side you are working), crochet 2 sc in corner st of one side, ch 1, 2 sc in other side corner st (the first st of the next side), shown as image below, I crocheted 188 sc sts around. Fasten off and weave the ends.
Adding fur lines
Start making fur edges on every single crochet joining. Make slip stitches with fur yarns on every single crochet joining lines. Weave ends before starting joining panels.
Joining 2 squares together with single crochet
Get the two panels facing the wrong side (WS) each other, insert the hook in both pieces, ch 1, sc in same st, sc in each st around. When one side opening, insert the pillow inside and continue joining the pillow until last st. join with sl st to the first st. (188 sts total around the edge.)
Cut the yarn & fasten off.
Start making fur edges around the cushion too. Make slip stitches with fur yarns in every sts around. Fasten off and weave the ends.
