Love: Bert
This fun cushion cover is a brilliant way to brighten up a room and bring a splash of colour to your home.
Designed to use the brightest yarn in your stash, this easy-to-knit cushion will look great piled up on your bed or sitting pretty on an occasional chair.
I used a gorgeous hand-dyed speckled yarn – Bert: Embrace (which inspired the name for this pattern) by indie-dyer What Mustard Made – but the pattern will also work well with a solid or semi-solid colourway, particularly if you want the heart motif to stand out more.
You’ll use a combination of stocking stitch and garter stitch to make the two sides. On one side you’ll have a stocking stitch border with a garter stitch heart and you’ll reverse the stitch patterns on the other side.
Then just add a 12 inch x 12 inch cushion pad and stitch the seams together.
Charted and written instructions included.
The yarn used in this pattern sample is a Bluefaced Leicester, British wool yarn in aran weight.
If you are looking to substitute yarn I would suggest choosing an aran weight wool-fibre yarn that has a similar weight-to-yardage ratio. In this pattern sample the 100g skein was approximately 180 yards (165m).
