Welcome to my KAL (Knit-along) Patchwork Cushion project.
For this pattern I have incorporated 3 three different stitch designs, Mock Cable, Trellis & Honeycomb.
- Over the next 3 weeks, I will be adding each pattern to my website along with mini videos showing you how to make each square.
- With a total of nine squares to knit, I will explain how to lay them out ready to be sewn together to make the front of your cushion cover.
- Finally, I will explain how to block your finished knitted piece and sew your backing fabric to complete your cushion.
