10 Crochet Patterns for Mother’s Day Gifts

Not long now until Mother’s Day - 19th March 2023. Are you planning to crochet something for your mother this year? I designed the Aphrodite Cushion Cover last year to give to my mother on Mother’s Day. As you might already know, she didn’t actually receive it… my daughters decided that they couldn’t do without it lol.

This year I am making amends! I gifted my daughter a pink version of the cushion for Christmas; when my mum saw it she asked for one in grey for Mother’s Day. It seems that she was destined to eventually get her own Aphrodite Cushion lol. She picked out her own colours and the yarn has now been ordered - check out my video blog over the next few episodes if you’d like to see how it goes :)
