Cushion has a knitted front and is backed with fabric. The Fair Isle component features forget-me-not flowers and geometric designs, and is knitted in the flat using the stranded technique. Stitches are then picked up along the right hand side and the striped segment is knitted across using stocking stitch with bind off rows to create embossed vertical stripes.

Materials Needed:

The cushion uses 12 shades of Jamieson and Smith 2ply Jumper weight (25g, 115m/125 yds). If 2 balls of Shade 202 are purchased, rather than 1, there will be enough yarn to make to make 2 cushions, with yarn to spare.
