Notes

This cushion has gone to Team Belize :D

I was really nervous about attempting this chart design from an embroidery pattern from 1597 but I’m happy with the way it’s turned out.
It’s been part of the royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland since 1603 (apparently!), representing Scotland. eh, the things you learn knitting cushions!
