Spike-tea Pin Cushion

Details

The Spike-tea Pin Cushion is every crafter's best friend! The peaceful mug can be used as storage for your craft notions, like stitch markers, and the spiky cactus is perfect to hold your sewing pins!

The pattern is written in U.S. terminology. The main part of this project is worked in a continuous round so you may want to use a stitch marker to mark the end of each round. There is no specific gauge for this project, just try to keep your tension tight throughout each piece. Spike-tea Pin Cushion measures approx. 12 cm (4.7 in) when using the same yarn and tools indicated below, and worked with the "x" single crochet stitch (yarn under, yarn over).
