Inspired by boudoir wallpaper patterns, this petite cushion is knitted in two colours using a simple stranding technique. It is worked in mercerized cotton, backed in sumptuous velvet, and trimmed with either braid or tassels.

Pattern notes
• For the reverse colourway, use A for B and B for A. The yarn amount specified is enough for one cushion.
• When working the stockinette stitch colour pattern from the chart, read odd-numbered rows (knit rows) from right to left and even-numbered rows (purl rows) from left to right.
• Work the colour pattern using the stranding (Fair Isle) technique, stranding the yarn not in use loosely across the back of the work. Do not carry the yarn over more than three stitches at a time, but weave it under and over the colour being worked.
