Many new knitters asks for an easy project to start with, a scarf or something. We always recommend newbies starting a more fun and not so looooong project, and these Very Easy Sofa Cushions are spot on, either if you are new to knitting, or just need a small in-between project

They look super cool and since the yarn is super bulky you knit them up in a short night. The only skills required is knit and purl ;)
