This pattern comes from Weldon’s Practical Knitter, Number 130, Thirty-Second Series (1896). It is also published in Weldon’s Practical Needlework, Volume 11, Interweave Press, 2004.

The original pattern calls for four colours of “single Berlin wool” and “four steel knitting needles, No. 15” (modern equivalent 1.75mm / US 00.) Stuffing and “pale green satin ribbon” are needed to finish the cushion.

As with most 19th century patterns, there is no gauge/tension stated in the pattern. There are also no stated finished dimensions. The pattern is written entirely in text and there are no charts. There is, however, an illustration.
