From the pattern description:

For interior style that’s reminiscent of the swinging 60s, use the intarsia technique to make this bright striped cushion with a simple floral motif.

The stitches are simple, but pattern is worked from a chart, using the intarsia technique of separate balls of yarn for different areas of colour across a row.
