Flutter By Cushion

The Flutter By Cushion will be released free on the blog as part of the Garden Medley Blanket Crochet Along. Once the blanket CAL is complete, the full Flutter By Cushion pattern will be published on May 11th, 2026. For more information on the CAL visit: https://www.willowcrochet.com/garden-medley-blanket-cal-introduction The Flutter By Cushion is a bold, modern crochet cushion featuring a graphic butterfly motif inspired by nature. Strong shapes and clean lines give the design a confident, graphic look, while the warm, earthy color palette keeps it feeling calm and considered. It works beautifully as a statement piece on a sofa, bed, or reading chair. This cushion is part of the wider Bloom & Buzz collection, which also includes a coordinating bee cushion and the Garden Medley Blanket. All of the designs share the same garden-inspired motifs and color palette, making it easy to mix and match pieces or create a cohesive handmade set for your home. The pattern is worked using intarsia crochet in single crochet stitches, creating a smooth, structured fabric that’s ideal for cushions. While the finished butterfly looks bold and eye catching, the construction itself is straightforward and satisfying to work through. This pattern is best suited to intermediate crocheters who are comfortable with single crochet, changing colors, and reading charts. Confident beginners who want to try intarsia crochet for the first time may also enjoy this pattern, especially if they have followed the Garden Medley CAL. **Materials Yarn used in sample:** Amigo XL, Hobbii (Worsted weight, 100% Acrylic; 109 yards / 100 meters per 50g skein) A – Ecru (02): 1 skein B – Black (12): 1 skein C – Curry (38): 1 skein D – Rust (40): 4 skeins **Yarn amounts if substituting:** Any worsted weight yarn in approximately the following quantities: A – 50 yards / 46 meters B – 46 yards / 42 meters C – 75 yards / 68 meters D – 408 yards / 374 meters **Tools:** 5 mm crochet hook (or size needed to obtain gauge) Scissors Yarn needle 18” x 18” / 46 cm x 46 cm cushion insert **Gauge:** 4” x 4” (10 cm x 10 cm) = 12 stitches x 15 rows in single crochet Meeting gauge will help ensure your cushion fits the insert neatly and keeps the butterfly design looking crisp and balanced. **Finished Size:** Approximately 18” / 46 cm wide by 18” / 46 cm long
