Buzzing By Cushion

The Buzzing 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 Buzzing By Cushion pattern will be published on May 4, 2026. For more info about the CAL visit: https://www.willowcrochet.com/garden-medley-blanket-cal-introduction The Buzzing By Cushion is a bold, modern crochet cushion featuring a graphic bee motif inspired by nature. Clean lines and strong shapes give the design a confident, graphic look, while the warm, earthy color palette keeps it feeling cozy and lived in. It works beautifully as an accent piece on a sofa, chair, or bed. This cushion is part of the wider Bloom & Buzz collection, which also includes a coordinating butterfly 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 motif looks bold and eye catching, the construction is approachable and enjoyable to crochet. This pattern is best suited to intermediate crocheters who are comfortable with single crochet, changing colors, and reading charts. Confident beginners who want to explore intarsia crochet may also enjoy this pattern, especially if they have followed along with 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 – 92 yards / 84 meters B – 20 yards / 18 meters C – 11 yards / 10 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 **Finished Size:** Approximately 18” / 46 cm wide by 18” / 46 cm long
