Folk Art Cushion Knitting Pattern

If you love the idea of knitting a beautiful, intricate colourwork piece, but you’re not sure your skill set – or patience – is up to it, this is the project for you.

This gorgeous cushion knitting pattern, based on the traditional Swedish Dala horse, is actually worked using duplicate stitch – a simple technique where you embroider using yarn. So, all you’ll technically knit is a supersized chunky cushion in basic stocking stitch, something even beginners could whip up easily.

This pattern is designed by Erin Black and was first published in Mollie Make magazine issue 112.
