Learn a new textured stitch with Siân Brown’s chunky cushion.

Make a sofa statement with Siân Brown’s textured and tasselled cushion cover. It’s made in a chunky yarn so can be knitted up in just a few evenings. The centre front panel uses a beautifully tactile Bramble stitch pattern that involves knitting and purling into the same stitch, then working a double decrease to keep your stitch count correct. The fringing is added at the end. We find it helps to use a crochet hook to pull the yarn through the knitted fabric.
