A Yorkshire-themed sampler cushion - each square celebrates a beloved aspect of Yorkshire. These small squares (each 5in/12.5cm square) are quick to work and are a great way to try some new techniques.

  • Brick Wall - Based on the limestone walls and brick houses you’ll find all over Yorkshire, uses the Basketweave pattern to create simple knit/purl texture.
  • Harris Tweed - Get your tweeds out! This square uses a slipped-stitch pattern and celebrates the lovely colours of tweed jackets with elbow patches.
  • Three Peaks - Use modular technique to add these famous peaks to your square.
  • Furrows - Fields represented by a two-row textured knit/purl pattern.
  • “Y” is for Yorkshire - Execute simple garter stitch patterning to share your fan-dom with the world.
  • Coastal Waves - Using a derivative of the Shetland Feather and Fan technique, mimic the rise and fall of waves on the coast. Includes both written and charted.
  • Honeycomb - What would Yorkshire be without it’s honeybees? This overall cable pattern has both written and charted directions.
  • Wensleydale Sheep - This cushion wouldn’t be complete without a sheep square - and what better sheep than the Wensleydale, born and bred in West Yorkshire? This intarsia square has both written and charted directions and uses the fur (or loop) stitch.
  • I heart Yorkshire - What better way to finish than to declare your love for these counties with a taste of fair isle! This 2-colour pattern is charted only.

The pattern includes the pattern for the nifty back too.
