4. Why knit just one cushion cover when you
can create a whole stack? Although made in
different styles, they are unified by their attractive
coordinating colours and hand-knitted nature.
Wherever you put them - on a sofa or bed, or in
a sunny outdoor spot - they look utterly sit-on-
me inviting. Despite their great looks, the Bolster
Cushion Cover (far left) with contrasting cord and
covered buttons, the embellished Bullion Stitch
Cushion Cover (centre) and the Garter Stitch Cushion
Cover (right) with tassels, are simple to knit.

5. Worked on big needles with thick, slubby yarn,
the Lampshade Cover adds wonderful texture to your
decor and the stretchy rib allows plenty of light to
shine through. This may look like a tricky task but,
because it's worked on a circular needle, there are
no pesky joins and no need for double-ended needles
- it’s one for beginners!
6. How clever is this? A plain stocking
stitch cover gets a designer makeover
in this Bullion Stitch Cushion Cover. The
bullion stitch, also known as grub stitch
(for obvious reasons), is worked in a
contrasting colour. It’s a cinch to make,
and the effect is stunning.
