Rare Earth Cushions Knitting Pattern

You can never have too many cushions. Scattered over a comfy sofa they add a homely touch to any room, softening the look of a bare area and making it feel warm and welcoming. The Rare Earth Cushions pattern includes five different looks, all from the same sequence of stitches to give a co-ordinated set of cushions. Knit just one or two to add to your existing collection, or all five for a brand-new look. The covers feature a buttoned flap for extra detailing. This also makes them easy to remove for laundering or to ring the changes as you move from season to season.

Note:Please see my LoveCrafts listings for a co-ordinating rug, the Rare Earth Rug.
