Hello everyone, I’m here today to share with you all these couches and throw pillows I made. So we had these couches since I was a kid and then suddenly my mom decided to change them oneday and I really didn’t like the idea but then I had no say. She said it was her husband’s house which means she can do whatever she wants so I should also marry and go and do whatever I want in my husband’s house, can you imagine guys?haha.
Anyway, I just decided to make my own version of them. I plan on using these little stuff I crochet to decorate my apartment.
I spent about 2 hours on each couch and that’s because I used single crochets. We all know how long it takes to make single crochets.
Materials I used:
Leftover yarns
1.60mm crochet hook
Cotton wool
Sewing needle
Procedure
I started by making the seat cushion. It was a little tricky at first but I went with the box structure. I actually dismantled a box( in my mind) to see how it would look like and then I used that structure to crochet the cushion seat. I made 9 chains and then 4 rows of single crochets. I then made 17 additional chains and then added 8 single crochets and then another 4 rows of single crochets.
I then brought them together to make the cushion seat. I sewed them with the needle and yarn and then whiles sewing it, I stuffed it with cotton wool.
I moved on to the back and armrest. Since they were together, I made 25 chains and then added about 31 rows of single crochet but then in back loop. It’s basically crocheting enough to cover the back and arm rest.
After that, I folded it into two to give it the thickness it’s supposed to have. I then attached it the cushion seat and that was it, I was done.
For the throw pillows, I just made 5 chains ans built on it with 6 rows of half double crochet. I then used the needle and yarn to sew the sides together whiles filling the pillow with cotton wool as well.
I was now done with the couches and throw pillows and then I remembered that I need to add a lamp and I did. Let me know if you want to know how I made the lamp. I remembered I made a coaster for my brother some weeks ago so I went for it and used it as a gigantic carpet.
The result
I know I always say it is fun crocheting something but believe me when I say this was very much more fun than other projects I’ve done. Do you think we should make a miniature living room?
Anyway, thank you all for your time.
NB: colour of the first couch is peach
