Who doesn’t love Art Deco designs. This is my second Art Deco pattern, the first being the Deco Dazzle blanket. The Art Deco period, the 1920s and 1930s, were times of change and streamlined, geometric, elegant and stylish designs appeared from buildings to wallpaper etc.

This pattern is for a lovely cushion with an optional zipper closure. It is worked in the round, so just a few ends! There is a link to my video for the invisible join. Instructions include ways to use the pattern to make other projects like blankets, or a table runner.

I used DK/8ply yarn (1 ball of each colour) with a 3.5mm hook and the cushion measures 37 x 37cm (14 1/2”). If using Worsted/Aran yarn with a 4mm hook, the cushion will be much larger, approx. 51 x 53cm (20” x 21”).

The pattern is suitable for mosaic overlay crochet beginners as long as you know crochet basics and can research YouTube videos for help if you need it. The pattern does include instructions on how to crochet mosaic overlay and how to follow the charts.

It contains written instructions and 2 charts (marked with Xs). One chart is for the cushion and another is a smaller version that some may find more suitable to use to make a blanket, table runner etc.

Any yarn can be used for this pattern but the size may vary and a different sized cushion insert may be required.

When choosing yarn, it is important to choose contrasting colours so the pattern stands out.
