Pattern Description from A History of Hand Knitting: “…knitted in close stockinet, at a tension of about 80 stitches to 10 centimetres (roughly 20 to the inch), and is 36 cm (14.25 in.) square… . dark brown with straw yellow patterning on both sides. .. There is a pendant green tassel on each of the four corners. One side has a diamond diaper of yellow lines dividing the field into lozenges, each of which contains an eagle or fleur-de-lys. Diagonal rows of each of these two designs alternate, running downwards towards the left…. The other side of the cushion is covered with a more complicated trellis or web that divides the field into octagons interspaced with small squares. Each octagon contains a golden castle with three towers, or an eight-petalled golden rosette, all running diagonally from top left to bottom right. Each small square contains a swastika. The horizontal bands alternate between bands of regular octagons (21 rows high and 21 stitches across; 9 rows on the vertical sides and 9 stitches on the horizontal sides) and bands of irregular octagons (with the same maximum measurement but 13 rows on the vertical sides and 13 stitches on the horizontal sides). … The four edges of each side have an Arabic inscription knitted both sideways and lengthways.” (pages 39-44)
