Hand Knitted Cushions: Round Sofa Cushion

Hand knitted cushions: Materials - Berlin and pins no. 11 may be used, casting on 54 stitches. This is rather a small size; to make it larger use coarser wool, and pins to correspond.

This can be worked in shades, or in any two colors which contrast well.

1st row - Plain knitting.

2nd row- The rest of the cushion is done in Brioche stitch; leave the last 3 stitches unknitted, turn and go with the Brioche stitch.

4th row - Leave the last six unknitted and turn.

6th row - Leave the last nine unknitted, and so on, three more every time you get to the end of the row.

When you have worked off all the stitches, join the next shade and knit the whole row. The next row like the second.

This makes the knitting more into a gradual round. When large enough sew it up and do a second in the same way. Make a round pillow lined with feathers, and put between the knitting, which must be sewn together like a silk pincushion. Draw in the centre, which may be finished off with an ornamental button; the edges can be crocheted or left plain, as prefered.
