Great first Intarsia project.
Step-by-step Intarsia instructions are included in the pattern.

The cushion cover is knitted from the bottom up as one piece and you need to seam only on the sides --- designed for minimum seaming. 3 buttons are attached on the back side of cushion for security closure and makes it easy to remove the cover.

Bigger gauge - 12 sts / 4” is super quick to knit.

The suggested yarns are all doubled throughout except Spud & Chloe “Outer”. Please check the yardage carefully.
