Happy Tuesday my fellow crafters!
Summer is finally approaching and it's about time for all of us to make our home ready for it! A fresh cotton yarn in the typical nautical colors - blue and white - makes this pillow the perfect summer decoration for your bed or couch!
The front of the cushion cover is worked with the C2C crochet technique, while the back panels are worked with half double crochet stitches. A beautiful wooden button gives a nice final touch to this gorgeous project!
The Nautical Cushion Cover is made with 24/7 Cotton® yarn by LION BRAND YARN! This is a mercerized 100% natural fiber yarn - the incredible color variety and the beautiful sheer make this fiber just perfect to work accessories and home decor!

C2C TECHNIQUE EXPLANATIONS
Step 1:
Chain 6. Dc in the 4th chain from the hook. Dc in each of the two remaining chains. At this point, you’ll have a small block comprised of the ch-3 turning chain and 3 dc stitches.
Step 2:
Turn your work. Row 2 is a WS (wrong side) row and has two tiles. We’ll start Row 2 by increasing one tile. Chain 6. Dc in the 4th chain from the hook. Dc in each of the two remaining chains. This completes the first tile of the second row.
Now, we’ll need to join this tile to the first tile we made. Find the ch-3-space created by the turning-ch-3 on the first tile. Slip stitch into the ch-3-sp from the previous row.
Then, make the next tile. Chain 3. Make 3 dc into that same ch-3-sp.
Step 3:
Work Row 3 in the same way that you worked Row 2. Row 3 is a RS (right side) row and has 3 tiles. You’ll start by making a C2C increase.
DECREASING
First Decrease Row: Instead of chaining 6 to make a new tile, we’ll slip stitch across the last tile in the previous row. The slip stitches will move our yarn across the tile without adding height. Then, we’ll chain 3 and work the next tile.
Slip stitch in each dc across, and slipstitch into the ch-3-space.
Chain 3 and work 3 dc into the ch-3-sp of the previous row. (This completes the first tile of this row.)
Repeat this pattern across the row.
