“Originally designed to complement the Christmas “Scot”-ing, these cushions quickly became loveable favourite items of the household.

Filled with traditional design elements, with a modern twist, they will bring warmth and cosiness to your home all winter. “

Size:
Knitted in the recommended yarn at the correct tension, this cushion has instructions for two sizes:

• Small: to fit a 35 cm x 35 cm (13 3/4 in x 13 3/4 in) cushion pad,
• Large: to fit a 50 cm x 50 cm (19 3/4 in x 19 3/4 in) cushion pad.

Instructions in brackets [] refer to the Large size.

Yarn requirement:
Samples shown use New Lanark Pure Wool DK:

• (A): 2 [3] x 50 g, in Shade: Ecru (white) on both samples
• (B): 2 [3] x 50g, in Shade: Sky (light blue) [Pebble (light grey)]
• (C): 1 [1] x 50 g, in Shade: Denim (darker blue) [Gritstone (darker grey)]

Buttons:
With a very rustic look, the wooden buttons pictured are home-made (out of curtain-rods). A blog post about them can be read here.

For a more refined look and a very unique project, I strongly recommend the porcelain buttons from Melissa Jean Designs. The delicate blue buttons in the last picture are the Starburst design, in the Moonscape colourway, matching perfectly the delicate blue of the New Lanark yarns.
