Crochet Daisy Patch Cushion Cover Free Pattern

Gauge: 14 hdc x 10 rows = 4″ with US I-9 (5.5mm) crochet hook

Notes:

• This is a removable pillow cover with buttons on the backside. 
• For making this pillow, I used the Granny Square with 3D Flower that was previously released on Crochet For You Blog.
• Each square crocheted individually and joined together at the end to make a front panel.
• I made 9 total squares. And used multiple colors. 
• I used single crochet for the joining squares.
• The whole pillow case works as a one piece. The back panel has two parts. The two parts start from the sides of the front panel.
• And fold the back panels overlapping and seam together. 
• Lastly, make a scalloped border and attach buttons.

Petals

Check the video tutorial for better understanding.
Start crocheting petals in round 2 (chain loops)
Join (C3) yarn one of the chain loops of round 2, with ch 3, (dc, tr, dc) in same loop, ch 3, sl st in same loop (one petal is made), *ch 1, sl st in next loop, ch 3, (dc, tr, dc) in the same loop, ch 3, sl st in the same loop; repeat around, there should be 6 petals.
Do not cut the yarn

Crochet slip stitch around the edge of the petals for strong petals, you can skip this round if you want.
* insert the hook in next st of the petal, yarn over, pull up a loop through st and the loop (sl st) on the hook; repeat * from around the edge of the petals.
Fasten off and weave the end. 

Joining granny squares

Arrange the 9 squares as shown in the image above. Start joining pieces together using single crochet and white color yarn.

Hold 2 pieces together facing the wrong side (WS) each other. Start from the middle st of the 3 st at the corner of both pieces. 

Insert the hook into the both loop of each piece and start to make single crochet until the middle stitch of the next corner. Pick another two and repeat this method to join all the squares to make a large square.  

After joining horizontally across, start joining vertically to complete the joining. (image 1 below)
At the end weave all the ends

Adding edging to the front panel

Crochet in front loop only, (RS) facing up the front panel, join white color yarn and crochet sc in FL of each st around while crocheting (sc, ch 1, sc) in each corner st (the middle st of the 3 st), at the end, join with sl st in first st. I crocheted 204 sc sts around.
Fasten off and weave the ends. (image 2 above)

Making back panels

With Powder Pink color yarn,
Row 1: Crochet in Back loop only (RS) facing up the front panel, Join the yarn BL with ch 1, one of the middle st of 3 st and make a hdc (image 1 above), hdc in each BL of st across the one side of the front panel until the middle st of 3 st. (image 2 above) Turn. (51 sts total) 

Row 2: ch 1, hdc in each st across, (image 3 above) turn.

Fasten off and weave the end.

Back panel seaming

Check the video tutorial for better understanding
After finishing the back panels, lay the piece of work WS facing. Fold the two back panels overlapping. With tapestry needle and a long piece of yarn, sew the side together (front & back panels) by inserting through the back loop of front panel and side stitches of the back panel of the pillow.

Making a scallop border

Start making scallop border around the cushion cover. 
Check the video tutorial for better understanding
Front panel facing up, start from the ch-sp of the corner st, Count 2 sc sts backward from the ch-sp, Join the yarn with ch 1 in that second st. Crochet 5 dc in ch-sp, sk next st, sl st in next st.

*Sk next st, 5 dc in next st, sk next st, sl st in next st; Repeat * to around while crocheting corner scallop in each chain space.
