Here are the first 2 patterns for cushions matching the blanket. These are 2 versions of two-color crochet bricks, made of Milo yarn. The first version has the bricks all cream, squared in brown, positioned to form a little wall. The second, on the other hand, has two-tone bricks, alternating cream, brown, and cream. Profiling, with both colors, transforms the rows of basic motifs into many perfectly aligned capital I letters. For a 40x40cm cushion work 20x20cm each motif square.
