Cushion Criss Cross has a beautiful weave pattern where it seems as if the strips run over and under each other. This cushion is knitted in the round with simple (but many) cable stitches. This cushion is knitted with super bulky / super chunky yarn and knitting needle 10 mm (US 15/ UK 000).

The pattern is described for 2 sizes. For a cushion with size 40 x 40 cm / 15 x 15 inch and for a cushion with size 50 x 50 cm / 20 x 20 inch.

Gauge for the criss cross pattern of 28 stitches and 28 needles with knitting needle 10 mm (US 15/ UK 000) = (not stretched) 20 x 20 cm / 7.9 x 7.9 inch.
