Before you sew your cushion together you will need to sew in all your ends. With the right side facing you, clip the two granny squares around the cushion insert using your binding clips. Granny stitch together. When you reach the corner space you will crochet 3 treble crochets, chain 3, and 3 tr in the corner space.

I love this! Is there any chance of a left-handed video? I LOVE your videos, but I can’t seem to follow along with the right-handed ones.
I love you heart granny square! How do I go about to make this square into a blanket? I am a beginner in crochet and taught myself as I suffer from anxiety. This would be a great project for me to accomplish!
