The sister pattern to the Chapter Shawl, 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 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.
