BELLA BIRD CUSHION KNITTING PATTERNS

Brighten up your sofa with a Bella Bird throw pillow. There is no tricky colour-work to do as the wings, eyes and beak are knitted separately and sewn on to the finished cushion. I have knitted a bluebird, but you could knit one in any colour to match your home.

THE PATTERN INCLUDES: Row numbers for each step so you don’t lose your place, instructions for making the cushion and photos, a list of abbreviations and explanation of some techniques, a materials list and recommended yarns. The pattern is 3 pages and written in English.

TECHNIQUES: All pieces are knitted flat (back and forth) on a pair of straight knitting needles. You will need to cast on and off, knit, purl, work increases and decreases, and sew seams.

YARN, NEEDLES AND NOTIONS INCLUDE:

• A pair of straight 4mm knitting needles (US 6)
• DK yarn (double knitting or light worsted weight) in blue, green, white and yellow
• Toy filling
• Domed black buttons for the eyes
