Crochet Pincushion
Pattern written in UK terms,
These granny square pin cushions measure approximately 8cm and can be made with any granny squares but I have written out the method I used below, similarly you could decorate with any kind of crochet flowers. I have attached a few photos to help with the flat flower I used for this pattern. The inserts are non-removable and are made by simply sewing (either by hand or on a sewing machine) two small squares of fabric together and stuffing with toy filling. The granny squares are then crocheted together around the insert.

Tools needed:
Yarn: 4 ply Cotton 2 colours – I used a variety of different brands, they all worked well as long as it's not too stiff.
Hook: 3.5mm
Yarn needle
Scissors (I use pinking shears to stop fraying)
Two small pieces of cotton fabric for insert – I used some Calico
Cardboard, ruler & pencil for template
Some polyester toy filling
Sewing machine or needle and thread
