Decorate your home for the festive period with Siân Brown’s colourful colourwork design

Get ready to celebrate with Siân Brown’s colourwork cushion. Featuring letter and star motifs, this statement cushion uses intarsia colourwork, where separate balls of yarn are used for each colour section on the row. Keep the yarn wound close the back of your work to avoid getting in a tangle. Full alphabet charts are included, so you can use this pattern as a template for other festivals throughout the year.
