Debbie Abrahams uses a large repeat cable pattern and a reverse stockinette stitch to achieve the unique look of this cushion cover. This great design is easy to knit. Debbie starts by making the front panel then works on the back, which includes a button panel down the center of the panel to keep the pillow shut. Here’s how it’s done.

This pattern was free from Knitty Gritty but no longer available from their website. However you can still try the WayBack Machine.

This pattern is available in the book 25 Cushions to Knit.
