I have had a few ideas for makes whilst making my Pokemon blocks and I have been waiting until I had enough blocks completed so I could make one of them, finally I have made enough so I can put together one of my ideas! I will need a lot more completed blocks for the other idea I have in mind though!.

I have made these blocks individually and joined them together to complete these cushion makes, I have done this for two reasons, firstly, I wanted to make up the bocks separately as its a bit easier to work with the small individual blocks than one large piece when using a lot of different wool colours and, secondly, I like the effect you get when you join these blocks together as it creates a slight ridge effect and I think it makes the blocks really stand out.

If you would rather not join these blocks afterwards you can make up the cushion as a front and a back piece and then just join the front and back pieces together. I will add a chart for this as well – this will have a black border around each block to make each block stand since it wont have the join line you will have from joining individual pieces, I will also include the links to the individual charts. You could also have the same four Pokemon on the front and back rather than having 8 different Pokemon.

You can also choose which Pokemon and the layout of Pokemon you like for your cushion using the available block patterns if you would rather not use the layout I have chosen. All available crochet Pokemon block patterns can be found on the crochet Pokemon makes page.

If you would like to make a crochet Minecraft themed version of this cushion check out my crochet Minecraft block cushion patterns.

Pokemon Crochet Block Series: Crochet Corner To Corner Pokemon Block Cushion Pattern

• DK wool – Colours depend upon the Pokemon blocks used.
• 3.5mm hook will give an individual block size of 17x17cm (for a bigger cushion use a bigger hook).
• Toy stuffing or cushion.

Finished Size (Approx.):

• Using a 3.5mm crochet hook (a bigger sized hook will give a larger cushion).
  • If individual blocks are used and joined separately: 36x36cm.
  • If the front and back pieces are made then joined: 39x39cm.

Joining The Individual Crochet Minecraft Blocks:

Using a 3.5mm crochet hook and black wool (or a different colour if you prefer).

• Take two of the blocks, place wrong sides together and complete sc stitches down the right hand side through both of the pieces side to join:
  • To start the join – insert hook into the ch3 gap at the end of the row, pull up loop, ch1 and sc into the same stitch.

• • To complete the row: complete 3sc stitches into the ch3 gap at the end of the rows and sc stitch into the gaps to the left of the htr(UK)/hdc(US) stitches when 3htr(UK)/hdc(US) are at the ends of the rows.
  • Fasten off at the end of the row.

• Repeat to attach the next block.
• Repeat again so you have 4 joined pieces, this will form the top row of the cushion.
• Repeat with the remaining 4 blocks, giving you 2 rows of 4 joined blocks.

• Take the 2 joined rows and place wrong sides together with the bottom row of the top piece and top row of the bottom piece aligned. sc along to join.
  • Complete 3sc stitches into the ch3 gap at the end of the rows and sc stitch into the gaps to the left of the htr(UK)/hdc(US) stitches when 3htr(UK)/hdc(US) are at the ends of the rows.
  • When reaching a vertical join complete a ss stitch into the top row vertical join last sc and then complete a ss into the bottom row vertical join first sc then continue along the row.

• Once all blocks are joined fold in half with wrong sides together then complete sc stitches around the side edges to join, place in stuffing before completing sc stitches along the final side edge.
  • Complete 3sc stitches into the ch3 gap at the end of the rows and sc stitch into the gaps to the left of the htr(UK)/hdc(US) stitches when 3htr(UK)/hdc(US) are at the ends of the rows.

Pattern For The Complete Pokemon Block Cushion:

As these are not being joined individually I have added in a black boarder around each of the blocks so they stand out. You could use a different colour If you would prefer.

• These blocks use corner to corner crochet with htr(UK)/hdc(US) stitches, and I have a how to guide on corner to corner crochet with htr(UK)/hdc(US) available.

• Once the front and back pieces have been completed place wrong sides together and complete sc stitches around the side edges to join. Place in stuffing before completing sc stitches along the final side edge.
  • Complete 3sc stitches into the ch3 gap at the end of the rows and sc stitch into the gaps to the left of the htr(UK)/hdc(US) stitches when 3htr(UK)/hdc(US) are at the ends of the row.
