Before commencing the pattern it may be easier to wind the yarn onto bobbins or place the balls in separate grip seal bags as this will prevent the colours becorning tangled as you work. 2. When carrying yarn across the back of work, take care not to pull yarn too tightly as this will distort the pat- tern and the shape of the stocking. 3. If one colour has to be carried across more that 5 stitches it is advisable to ‘weave’ the yarn when working with the other colour i.e. place the yarn being carried ‘over’ the yarn in use before working the next stitch. Al- ways remember to check the chart for the next row to be worked, as you will find some rows require the varn to be carried across behind the work ready for the next row. 4, As the colours are widely spaced cut and tie off each contrast colour, as you finish with it. If working in only one contrast colour then it is advisable to carry the colour not in use up the side of the work as you knit. Note on reading the charts 1. The knit rows (odd numbered rows) are read from right to left. 2. The purl rows (even numbered rows) are read from lett to right.

Block or press the two pieces of knitting with a warm iron and damp cloth, so the edges are square. With right sides together, sew the two pieces of the cushion together, (remember to leave a small hole for turning right side out). Turn right side out and stuff to your liking before closing the seam. For scale information: the UK Penny coin used on the photos is just slightly larger than a US Cent coin.
