This double knit cushion features a traditional cabled pattern, suitable for a range of interior styles. Four buttons on the back make the cover easy to remove for washing. I used King Cole Panache, which is slightly fluffy for an even more cosy effect, but most DK yarns should work just as well. Please check the yardage and tension carefully.

The design is quite stretchy, so will cover a 45cm/18” cushion pad if you add extra length. Instructions are written in full as well as given on a chart.

You will need:
• 200g (626 metres) of DK yarn
• 1 pair 4mm needles
• 1 cable needle
• 4 buttons, about 15 mm diameter
• Needle for stitching
