Free crochet pattern "Crochet Biscornu"

This is a crocheted piece.

When I think of Biscornu, I think of beautiful embroidery pieces.
I was always fascinated by it, but then I suddenly became curious about how it was made, so I looked into it and found that it was simpler than I had imagined.
I think the person who first came up with this idea is amazing.

I tried making a biscornu, which is normally made from cloth, using crochet.
I'm sure when you look at the knitting pattern you'll think, "Is that all?"
It's very easy.
It doesn't take much time, so I ended up making several.

You can also have fun changing the colors on the front and back.
The photo below shows the front and back of a grayish pink cushion.
Here, the slip stitch is done while looking at the back side as the front, and the slip stitch line is visible on the pink side.
I thought it might not be a bad idea to include a line like this.

Only the dark pink and gray types have a different closing method.
This one has a clear edge.
The amount of effort required for both is about the same, so try knitting whichever you prefer.
Since you only need to use a small amount of yarn, you can have fun making use of any leftover yarn.
It would make a great little gift for yourself or a friend.

Crochet Biscornu Knitting Pattern

Instructions

Please see the knitting pattern along with the instructions below for how to make it.

① Start by making a loop cast-on. Turn the piece over every row.

② Change the color every two rows and knit the entire eighth row with a single stitch. You will knit two of the same motif. You can change the color scheme to your liking.

③When you have finished knitting, consider the side where the final row will be the front as the front and pull all of the exposed yarn to the back.
Regarding thread treatment, if you have smooth threads or if you are concerned about that, you may want to do so. However, in the case of wool (a thread that tends to get caught) as shown in the photo,
The thread is left on the back without any special processing and is used as part of the padding.

④ As shown by the lines in the knitting pattern, align the corner of one motif with the center of the edge of the other motif, and sew them together using a pull-out seam, going all the way around. Make sure to add the filling before sealing it completely.
*The dark gray and wine red types are stitched together. Please choose the one you prefer.

⑤Once you have finished closing it, press down on the center of the cushion.
Thread the darning needle and thread it through the stitches several times to prevent the thread from coming loose, then tie a knot in the centre of the front of the motif.
Next, pass the thread to the back side, pull the thread slightly to make a depression in the center, and tie a bead in the same way.

To prevent the bead holder from slipping out into the knitted fabric, it is a good idea to wrap the yarn around it about five times to secure the bead.
Check the gaps in the knitted fabric and adjust the number of times you wrap the yarn.
