It begins with one small square, not too many stitches, and each piece is quick and satisfying to complete. The cushion is made up of eight simple squares – four in Shetland Tweed and four in Shetland Colours – so one side has a lovely tweedy texture and the other a smooth solid shade. I used a 30cm x 30cm cushion pad for the finished piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI’m actually sitting on my Chusi Cushion as I write this!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original yarn was spun in Peru, so I chose a Quechua name for the design – Chusi means “woollen blanket” in Quechua, the native language of rural Peru. Since that yarn has been discontinued, I’ve reimagined the cushion in a yarn with another special story – pure Shetland Island wool, spun right here in Yorkshire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCONSTRUCTION\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIndividual squares knitted flat from the bottom up and joined together to make the cushion.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTECHNIQUES USED\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCast on, knit, cast off.
