Yipee! xx

This log cabin cushion is great fun to knit as it is made up of lots of modular blocks, which make it zip along nicely, Pomona is also perfect for either mini skeins, or odds and ends. In addition to knitting this cushion, I also created a matching blanket, the Pomona Blanket, which features the same log cabin motif. You’ll be able to find it right here on Ravelry if you’re interested in making a matching set.

PATTERN NOTES
This cushion is made by knitting one large Garter Stitch log cabin square, which is created modularly from the centre out. Once this square is finished, you will add the back pieces to two sides and then seam it up to create the cushion shape.

The pattern includes instructions on how to spit (wet) splice your ends together neatly when changing colour to minimize the number of ends that need weaving in.
