19. Boho Macramé-Fringed Cat Face Pillow
Introduction & Aesthetic Concept
A relaxed, square bohemian throw cushion crafted from natural, unbleached cotton cord with an open-weave textured cat motif, finished with long, brushed-out macramé side fringe.
What This Idea Means
Free-spirited, textured, and earthy. It blends seamlessly with rattan furniture, macramé wall hangings, and abundant houseplant collections.
How to Make It
- Yarn & Hook: 3mm single-twist macramé cotton cord with a 6.0 mm aluminum hook.
- Construction: Worked flat in rows, combining open filet crochet mesh squares with filled solid stitches to outline a cat head silhouette.
- Stitches: Double crochet, chain spaces, and popcorn stitches for the cheek tufts.
- Assembly: Attach 6-inch lengths of cord along the side margins using lark’s head knots, then brush them out with a fine comb into a soft, fluffy bohemian fringe.
Tips & Variations
- Variation: Dip-dye the bottom half of the fringe in natural liquid tea or indigo dye for an ombré artisan look.
- Tip: Trim the fringe along a taped straightedge using sharp tailor shears to ensure clean, even borders.
