“THIS CHEQUERBOARD cushion cover features alternating intarsia leaf motifs and cables; embellishments such as twisted cords and pompoms give it a folksy feel,” explains Sasha Kagan. “The colours represent the Welsh countryside, with slate grey cables making an excellent foil for the brightly coloured leaves. My design is worked in Cambrian Mountains DK, a wool which is grown and processed just 30 miles from my home.” The stocking stitch back panels are finished with moss stitch bands and closed with press fasteners.
