This is a pattern for a cushion worked in brioche stitch using short rows.

The pattern was originally published in “Exercises in Knitting” by Cornelia Mee in 1846

The pattern includes a modernised version by Sarah Bradberry that has been totally rewritten to reduce the number of seams and has been test knit. The modernised version of the pattern was finalised on September 11th, 2008

The entire original book can be viewed on the Gutenberg.org website. The book is a project being recorded and knitted by volunteers at the Librivox site.
