We’re pretty smitten with the sophisticated colour palette that Kath has adopted for this chic cushion, as well as the fun-to-hook triangle design. Pick bright, contrasting shades and two buttons for the buttonhole band, then fasten the cushion at the back.
NOTES
The intarsia technique involves a simple colour change using a separate ball of yarn for each coloured section.
