• King Cole Big Value Chunky (100g/152m/ 100% acrylic); 2 balls in Sand (1747), 1 ball in each of the following colours: Moss (548), Sea Breeze (3493), Blue Heaven (559), Sweet Pea (3492), Rose (1542), Sugar Pink (3490). The yarn listed is enough to complete all the projects.
The cushion panels measure approximately 38cm x 38cm. The cushion pad needs to be a little larger so that the cushion cover gently eases and stretches over the pad for a neat and snug finish. Once both panels have been worked they are crocheted together over the cushion pad.
