From the pattern:

This fascinating cushion cover is quickly knitted, and lends itself nicely to individual taste in colour. The original was for a brown room and was carried out in Lemon, Mid. Brown, Orange, and Dark Brown. Should other colours be chosen, be sure to use a very dark shade, or black for outlining the sections.

The following directions are for a cover 22 inches in diameter. Should a larger or smaller cover be required, cast on (or take off) any number of stitches divisible by 3. These directions are suitable for top of pouffe also.

We give quantity of wool for front of cover only, should a corresponding back be required double these quantities (with exception of darkest shade).*

Materials:
1 Skein each of Lemon, Orange, Mid. Brown and Dark Brown.
1 pair old UK size No. 7 Knitting Needles.
Five-eighths of a yard of Satin or Sateen for Back.

Gauge:
Note from Sarah: No gauge was given for this pattern, but UK size 7 needles are usually used to give a gauge of 22sts to 4 inches with dk weight yarn.
