Chapter cushion

The sister pattern to the [Chapter Shawl][1], the Chapter cushion uses a slipped stitch texture in two different arrangements: four triangles on the front, and two overlapping rectangles on the back. An i-cord is used to seamlessly join the front and back whilst mimicking upholstery piping. I love a neat, polished finish in my knitted garments and decided to apply that to homeware too! > Both patterns can be purchased > individually for £5, or as an [eBook][2] > for £6.50. This cushion can be made to **any size, using any yarn weight** - the pattern includes instructions for how to calculate everything to suit your gauge. A colouring-in page is included in the pattern with several different stripe options - the whole cushion can be done in two colours, with regular stripe widths (like in sample), with random stripes... unlimited possibilities :) **YARN:** any weight yarn. Depending on the yarn weight used, yardage will vary. Any number of contrast colours could be used. Sample used approx. 350g / 700m / 765 yards of worsted weight yarn: 185g / 370m / 405 yards MC 165g / 330m / 361 yards CC (divided between 6 CCs). Sample shown in Lily Kate Makes AXIS worsted (*90% merino, 10% suri alpaca, 100m per 50g skein*) in shades Albedo (MC), World Line, Blazar, Gravity, Luminosity, Polaris & Equinox (6 x CC). **GAUGE:** a dense fabric is more important than a specific gauge. Swatching info included in pattern. **NEEDLES & NOTIONS:** Whatever needle size required to make dense fabric in your chosen yarn. For example, sample used 4mm needle with worsted-weight yarn. Buttons (sample used 6 buttons of diameter 20mm) Cushion pad slightly bigger than intended finished cushion **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS:** Any size square. Sample measures 16.5” / 42cm square.
