This cheeky cherry is yours for the knitting. An intarsia Pop Art-inspired cherry floats front and center on a rectangular cushion cover. Both the cherries and the stockinette-stitch background are knit in Rialto DK extrafine merino; the back is covered with fabric.

Pattern relies heavily on chart for colorwork.
