The cushion is knitted in one piece with fold lines and the side seams are then sewn. The body of the cushion is worked in St st and the button band in Moss st. The flamingo colourwork is worked using the intarsia method and the chain stitch detail is then added. Before starting, wind off one ball of the MC into three separate balls and the CC into two, ready for the colourwork. Twist the colours together at each colour change to avoid any holes.
