Crochet-Flap Mustard and Off-White Rectangular Cushion Cover

A rectangular cushion cover is a specific decision, it fits a bolster, a lumbar support, a reading chair arm. This one in mustard and off-white is finished with a hand-crocheted flap, its pattern worked in cotton thread that matches the body of the cover. The mustard is the colour of Indian mustard flowers in February, of haldi on a brass plate, of light through a gauze window in winter.

The 12 x 18 inch format makes this a lumbar cover, the cushion you slide behind your lower back on a long sofa afternoon, the one that gets moved and repositioned more than any other in the room. The mustard and off-white cotton holds both uses: it looks composed when placed, and it holds up to being displaced and returned. The hand-crocheted flap is the finishing detail that distinguishes this from a manufactured piece.

Mustard is a colour that ages interestingly, it deepens slightly with sun, shifts warmer with washing. This is not a flaw.
