The Dilettante Cushion Cover is a cosy, warm, woollen cushion cover in stranded colorwork of a jacquard design, knitted in the round, with a seam required only at one end and joined by a three needle bind off at the other end.

2 balls of each colour are needed. Choose colours to compliment or contrast with your home decor for a classic accessory! The colorwork design is certainly a timeless classic.

You’ll need a 40cm (16in) circular needle and also a straight needle for the three needle bind off.

You can fill the cushion with a 30cm (12 in) x 40cm (16 in) cushion insert, or loose wool or synthetic stuffing. 500g of pure wool fleece stuffing was used for the sample.
