Two cushion cover knitting patterns with large and jumbo houndstooth options. You could go for two super bright colours for summer, or use black and white in your scheme for a traditional look. Whatever you choose, will certainly be feeling ‘high classed’ when you have these cushions decorating your home!

The houndstooth design is classic. It never goes out of style and looks good in every colour. These cushion covers have a more modern take on the print, particularly the jumbo motif which can also fit into a bold, maximalist and colourful home.

Materials you will need:

Super chunky yarn:
I used Super Chunky Merino by Lauren Aston Designs- 140g Barbie & 115g Aqua (Jumbo motif), 150g Hyacinth & 130g Lemon (Large motif)
12mm needles (straight, or circular back and forth in rows)
Sewing needle suitable for super chunky yarn
Cushion: 33cm x 33cm (13” x 13”) or 36cm x 36cm (14” x 14
