Cushion pieces are worked flat. Criss cross lines on Front are worked using intarsia method: split Yarns A and B into separate balls (2 for Yarn A and 3 for Yarn B) and work each colour section using a different ball, without breaking yarn. At colour changes, twist yarns together before continuing to prevent holes forming in fabric. Noughts and Crosses are attached to Cushion using press fasteners and matching sewing thread.
