In recent years, The Long and Winding Road has become a very popular pattern. Maybe this is because it has some resemblance to ‘log cabin’ although the method is completely different.

It is made in four sections, then stitched together.

The original used approximately 1800 metres of dark blue Aran and 1400 metres of light blue and measures is approximately 160 cm (64 inches) by 125 cm (50 inches).

If you like the idea and want to start with something smaller, Roundabouts is a cushion version.
