KNITTING
story
Introducing our timeless evergreen cushion designs. You cannot go wrong with these understated yet sophisticated pieces. Always fashionable and “très chic”. Perfect for entry-level crafters with just the slightest stage fright and cruising altitude for
veterans.
We suggest you go rogue a little. Armed with two needles and some randomly chosen yarns (but still in stylish soft tones of course), you start knitting a square. Not just one, knit two. No restrictions or other complicating factors, simply knit as loose or as tight as you like until you’ve hit the right size for your pillow set.
Let’s keep it plain and simple for once — but you gotta stay on point and take control of the stockinette stitch. So, these are your marching orders then — alternating knit and purl rows only, these cushions will be stitched up in the quickest of time. Sounds too good to be true you might say? Well, only if you don’t have the basics down (you need to be able to cast on and off) but we know you’ve got that covered!
Pace through this pattern and transform your home at the speed of light before your dinner party arrives. Come to think of it, the stocking stitch is a yarn crafter’s best kept secret, if all else fails... -x-
