Accessories

Every year without fail nautical accessories show up in the shops. For a knitted cushion cover you could easily spend between £ 15.- to £ 30.-. Why, when all you need is some wool and a cushion pad you want to cover?
Moss stitch keeps the shape better, but any pattern is possible.
This is knitted as a simple rectangle the width and twice the length of the pad plus a bit extra for the buttonholes.
Turn inside out and sew both sides together, leaving the extra flap for the buttonholes.
Turn back and attach buttons on the outside of the main body, just under the buttonholes.
These are a classic design in nautical or neutral colours.
