Stocking Stitch Cushion
This is a square shaped cushion with a finished size of 35x35cm. It is worked in three pieces. The front of the cushion is knitted first and then the back of the cushion is knitted in two pieces; a bottom and a top. The top back piece has a contrasting coloured edging with buttonholes.
The heart appliques are knitted squares which are then felted in a washing machine. After felting, the heart shape is cut out with a pair of sharp scissors.
Instructions for this cushion are provided in written format only. However, there is a guide on page 8 showing the layout of each piece (you will calculate the labelled dimensions Ⓐ- Ⓔ as you work your way through the pattern).
This Stocking Stitch Cushion and the felted heart appliques featured on the front were both knitted using Aran weight yarn. I used New Lanark Aran which is 100% wool and can be felted.
The appliques on front are knitted squares, which are felted in a washing machine. Once felted, the little heart shapes are easily cut out with a pair of sharp scissors and sewn onto the front of the cushion.
