Step 1:

Start with a slip knot.

Chain 125.

You can easily alter the size of your cushion cover by altering the starting chain stitches.Make the chain stitches and measure it out on your cushion before continuing. Increase or Decrease the chain stitches accordingly.

Step 2:

One Double Crochet in the second chain from the hook.

Step 3:

Continue with one Double Crochet in each stitch all along the remaining stitches.

Work up untill the last stitch.

Step 4:

Having a Straight edge is always very pleasing. Lets check out this easy way of having a Straight edged project which I saw on Pinterest.

Once you reach end, Chain 2.

Step 5:

Insert the hook into the 1st chain you've made.

Yarn over and pull up a loop.You should have 2 loops on the hook.

Step 6:

Turn your project and insert the hook into the first stitch.(the first Double Crochet)

Step 7:

Yarn over and pull up a loop.You will have 3 loops on the hook.

Again, yarn over and pull through 2 loops.You will have 2 loops on the hook.

Lastly, yarn over and pull through 2 loops.

Now, continue with the Double Crochet stitches all along.

Step 8:

Try this simple alteration and believe me you will end up a nice straight edged project.

Continue with Double Crochet stitches untill you reach the size of your cushion.

Step 9:

Once you reach the size needed, the next round will be the button hole round.

Firstly, mark your spaces for the buttons using stitch markers.

Step 10:

Chain 1, turn your project and continue with single crochet in each stitch.

For the button hole, do chain stitches according to the size of the button and continue with single crochet in the rest of the stitches.

Chain 1 and turn.

Do one more round of single crochet in each stitch. Make 2 single crochet in the Button Hole spaces.

This would make the button hole sturdier.

I have made 5 button holes.

Step 11:

Sew in the buttons with a yarn needle.

Step 12:

Fold the piece so that you have space for the Cushion flaps.

Now joins the ends with Single Crochet.

Step 13:

Weave in the loose ends.

Step 14:

You can use it the way it is or you can sew in flower appliques.
