GO BIG WITH THE YARN FOR A QUICK KNIT

you will need: 60m ‘Nellie and Eve’ super chunky ‘Dreadlock’ yarn 25mm knitting needles 35x35cm feather or natural fibre cushion pad

1 Cast on 12 stitches loosely (see our basics box, if you don’t know how).

2 Using garter stitch, knit 46 rows. It’ll be approximately 90cm.

3 Cast off loosely, leaving 150cm of yarn for sewing up the sides of cushion cover. Weave in the ends.

4 Lay the knitted rectangle flat. Fold up 35cm and then fold over the remaining top piece to create an envelope. Using remaining yarn, sew up each side with a running stitch using hands. Fasten off and then weave in the ends.

5 Pop in the cushion pad and enjoy!

The thick needles and chunky yarn used mean this project is quick to make up and also beautifully rustic. Any wonky bits will simply add to its charm 3
