Space themed cushion cover, easy envelope opening at the back, no hard buttons, ideal scatter cushion for a little boys bedroom.
Red rocket, launched from planet Earth, seen in the bottom right hand corner, trailing a blaze through space, the moon is in the top left hand corner.

Designed to fit a standard 20 inch/50 cm. cushion.

Knits with chunky/bulky yarn, tension:

14 stitches x 20 rows= 4 inches/10 cm. on 6 mm/no. 10 needles.

I’ve used 3 balls of Hayfield Bonus Chunky, 150 yards per ball, for the main colour, and for the picture on the front you can use whatever colours you like, a great way to use up left over yarn while creating a unique gift for someone.
