This cushion takes inspiration from the iconic work of artist William Morris, in particular the renowned Strawberry Thief print. The front of the cushion is knit in patchwork squares using motifs from Morris designs. The squares use a mix of fair isle colourwork with embroidery worked afterwards to highlight details. The back of the cushion is worked in stripes with a button closure.

Designed By Birch&Bliss

(Debbie Bliss & Chloé Elizabeth Birch)

The pattern is written with charts for both the fairisle and embroidery.
