This cushion is so easy yet so striking. It’s easy enough for beginners and looks stunning with an eclectic mix of colours.

It’s made in double knit cotton yarn – we suggest Rowan Pima DK – and is a combination of garter and plain stitch squares.

Martin Storey, who designed our cushion, has chosen all the colours of the funfair for this bright and summery design. Have lots of fun choosing your own colour combinations – if you use Rowan Pima Cotton DK, you have 16 to select from; if you try Patons 100% Cotton DK, you have 22 different shades.
