Aran cushion

HomeIntermediateAran / worsted

A 40 × 40 cm cushion cover with the full Aran panel: braids, diamonds and honeycomb.

The front uses the central panel of the site's Aran sweater, framed by seed stitch. It is a good way to practise cables on a flat piece with no shaping before starting a sweater.

The back is plain stockinette.
