The bold and colourful stitch pattern on this cushion cover was inspired by geometric diamond patterns often seen
in traditional ikat weaving, a technique known in several regions in Asia, Africa and Latin America.

The cushion cover is knitted in the round using the beautifully soft Cascade 220 100% Peruvian Highland Wool, which has a huge range of colours to suit any interior.
