Additional Notes:
-Ch 1 at beginning of round does not count as a stitch.
-Make sure you pull your joins snug to minimize seams. You will also want your ch-1 at the beginning of the round to be very small as well.
-I used 16” pillow forms in my 15” cushions. This makes them look more luxurious and “full”. No wimpy pillows for us!
-When working a round of 3dc clusters join the round to the ch-1 immediately following the cluster stitch. This helps to reduce the seam appearance.
-Caron Jumbo Ombre is a thicker #4 worsted weight yarn. You will not want to use finer #4 yarns such as Caron Simply Soft, Patons Classic Wool, Red Heart Unforgettable, or pretty much any of the Lion Brand yarns that are listed as #4 weight. Your cushion covers will be smaller, or much too hole-y to look good.
