Blaze Fell, on the North Eastern outskirts of the Lake District, is right on my doorstep, and for years the view has lifted my spirits. Here’s my knitted interpretation of the crisscrossing fields and woodlands, worked in a three colour intarsia, each colour having a different texture (stocking stitch, moss stitch, reverse stocking stitch).
The cushion has the pattern reversed on the back, and is made up with a zip fastening, to fit a 16” pad.
Suggested colour schemes in the New Lanark Mill yarn are

  1. Gritstone, Pebble, Limestone (Natural Greys)
  2. Sandstone, Pebble, New Natural (Natural Browns)
  3. Autumn, Russet, Ochre (Rich Browns)
  4. Forest, Cobalt, Copper Blue (Greens and Blues) For a fully equipped knitting kit including yarn, needles, cushion pad, zip and thread, plus the pattern and online support go to www.calknits.co.uk.
