Often interpreted as a symbol of prosperity, abundance, good luck and fertility, the pomegranate was important in many cultures throughout history, from ancient Egypt and Greece to China and India. Bring good luck into your home, or send luck to others, with the gift of this mosaic knitted cushion.

The cushion is worked flat in one piece, starting and ending with garter stitch. The design is created by integrating mosaic knitting (using only knit and slipped stitches and one colour in each row) and the intarsia technique. The side seams are sewn using mattress stitch and it fastens with 3 buttons.
