Compass Cove Cushion Knitting Pattern

Sandra designed this 2 coloured cushion/pillow cover for "The Knitter" magazine. It's a smart pattern of cables, worked upon a striped stranded knit background forming the central decorative panel. The rest is worked in stocking stitch.

The cushion is formed from one front piece and two overlapping back pieces, and is knitted in a smooth aran-weight wool.
