Top knit tips

The motif on this cushion is worked from two different charts. Follow the written instructions to correctly place the charts and work using the intarsia method, using small bobbins of yarn for each section of colour. Work from right to left for knit rows and left to right for purl rows.

When following the charts, read RS rows from right to left and WS rows from left to right.
