The Three Designs

Garter Stitch Cushion Cover

The first design is a classic Garter Stitch Cushion Cover, worked entirely in one of the most fundamental knitting stitches. Garter stitch is created by knitting every row on both the right side and the wrong side, producing a ridged, reversible fabric with a satisfying texture and natural elasticity. This makes it an excellent choice for beginners, as no purling is required. The finished cover measures 41 x 41 cm and features a button fastening, requiring 4 buttons to complete the project.

• Yarn: Hayfield Super Chunky With Wool, shade 064
• Amount: 4 x 100g balls
• Fastening: 4 buttons

Garter Stitch Ridge Pattern Cushion Cover

The second design introduces a Garter Stitch Ridge Pattern, adding visual interest and textural depth to the simple garter stitch foundation. Ridge patterns in knitting are typically achieved by alternating between knit and purl rows at specific intervals, creating raised horizontal bands across the fabric. This subtle variation elevates the look of the cushion cover while still remaining very accessible for beginner knitters. The cover again measures 41 x 41 cm.

• Yarn: Hayfield Super Chunky With Wool, shade 066
• Amount: 3 x 100g balls

Moss Stitch Cushion Cover

The third design uses Moss Stitch, sometimes also known as seed stitch, which is created by alternating knit and purl stitches across each row and then offsetting them on the following row so that knit stitches sit above purl stitches and vice versa. The result is a beautifully textured, pebbly fabric that lies flat and looks equally attractive on both sides — a particularly desirable quality for a cushion cover. Moss stitch is a classic choice for home accessories and adds a handcrafted, artisan quality to the finished piece. This cover also measures 41 x 41 cm.

The super chunky weight means these projects work up quickly on large needles, making them especially rewarding for beginners.
