The design on the front of the cushion cover is based on the daffodil, known as the national flower of Wales.

Wales has both the leek and the daffodil as national plants.The leek possibly came first with legends of a battle between the Welsh and the Saxons where the leek was worn by the Welsh so that they could distinguish between friend and foe during the fighting. As the Welsh for daffodil is the same as for leek, it is thought likely the two plants became interchangeable and so both are used to represent the country.

Worked in stocking stitch the cover requires 1 x 50 gm ball. It is knitted in one piece starting with a small band of rib, stocking stitch for the main section, and finishing with another band of rib.

The daffodils are knitted separately using an I - cord for the stems together with stocking stitch for the leaves and flowers. Each element is fully explained in the pattern leaflet.

To make up the side seams are joined together.
