YARN The After Party No. 45 Printed Pattern – Swifts Cushion (Scheepjes)

The YARN The After Party No. 45 Printed Pattern – Swifts Cushion (Scheepjes) is an elegant and rhythmic design from the YARN the After Party collection. Designed by Esme Crick, this cushion features a pattern of swallows in flight, repeated using the mosaic crochet technique to achieve a striking visual effect without excessive technical complications. It is worked flat with two colours of yarn, creating a clean knitted surface with a high decorative impact.

Thanks to the use of Scheepjes Catona, a highly defined mercerised cotton yarn, the result is firm, with clean lines and excellent contrast between the chosen shades. This makes it a perfect choice for both minimalist homes and spaces with a handmade accent. The pattern is designed for crocheters with basic crochet skills who want to experiment with graphic design without losing clarity in the instructions.

The pattern comes printed in a handy full-colour A5 booklet with step-by-step explanations and a detailed chart. Written in British English, it allows you to easily follow each part of the knitting process, from the base to the final assembly of the cushion. The Swifts Cushion pattern is therefore an ideal project for gift-giving, decorating your home or introducing yourself to mosaic crochet with an aesthetically refined result.
