Pattern notes
Slipover is knitted in the round and in turned rows; to enable intarsia to be worked in the round, pattern is knitted back and forth, but joined in the round after every row using the w&t technique. Use intarsia method of knitting, using separate small balls of yarn for each area of motif; cut and rejoin yarns as needed between motif rows. Work from Hem up to start of Armhole Shaping, Front and Back are then split and worked separately; Front in two sections to allow for V-neck shaping.
Shoulders are seamed tog using three-needle cast-off method. Sts are picked up around armholes and neck and worked as Hem in twisted rib. When reading Knitting Charts, read RS rows from right to left, and WS rows from left to right.

The pattern for the Kiss & Tell Cushions appears in YARN Bookazine 16 - Shimmerland, published by Scheepjes. YARN Bookazine is available in print in both UK English and Dutch language and is available from Scheepjes retailers.
