It was totally inspired by Lucy's Granny's Flower Patch over at Attic 24. I needed just one more cushion to fit my garden furniture so it was the perfect project. I started it way back at the beginning of spring and it was a great project to pick up and put down as each piece took no time at all to make.
I used Rowan's handknit cotton, which has the most amazing colour palette and a couple of Debbie Bliss cotton dk to get some extra pinks in.
I also used an old jumper that I'd ruined in the wash as the back. It was the perfect colour. I might even get round to putting some buttons on to fasten it one day...
it's lovely, I had spied it, and admired it (rather jealously.......) my new garden is going to need one of those, must make sure I dont pack my crochet hooks yet!
ReplyDeleteYes I had spotted it amongst all the garden loveliness! And gorgeous it is too! Now I'm even more convinced you have the perfect garden... K x

Really really pretty. I started trying to make one of these but mine was nothing like as lovely as yours.
