Yarn:

You will need 4 x 100g balls of yarn in main colour and 2 x 100g balls in two contrasting colours (8 balls in total).

You will also need a pair of 12mm needles.

From the pattern description:

Everything about this cushion is giant scale from teh size to the colour and pattern. The front is a large check pattern and the reverse is knitted in wide stripes.

Straightforward, but first steps to following a chart and twisting yarn for vertical blocks.
