NOTES
Floor Cushion is made up of separate parts, which are joined together at the end. The Front and Back are identical except for the Daisy, which is sewn to one side only. We recommend leaving long tails to use when joining the pieces together.
Parts of the pattern are worked in a continuous spiral without closing off each round with a ss. You may find it helpful to mark the first st of the round, moving it up as you go.
