What you need to know

Create Lynne Rowe’s cake which can be used for play picnics or as a pincushion!

A knitter’s pins and sewing needles are liable to get everywhere, so keep them all in one place with this stashbusting cake. It looks almost too good to keep hidden away in your knitting bag – why not put it out on display instead? Worked in three colours, the pattern builds from a neat base, through textured sides, and finishes with a picot edge and pom-pom topping.
