Helen Ardley’s cushion is a simple homeware for anyone to try
Nothing is quite as homely as a handknitted cushion for your lounge, complete with cheerful buttons to add a flash of colour. Helen’s design is worked in a simple cotton yarn which adds structure to your make but certainly doesn’t compromise on softness. The pattern is made by working left and right twists which you can master in no time at all.
