A very cuddly and fun cushion to knit using Aran or Worsted (10 ply) yarn for the background and the back of the cushion. Whilst the Sheep are knitted in a chunky fluffy yarn. The knitting pattern gives full instructions and there is a clear, large chart to follow for knitting the sheep.
I had a competition amonst my followers on my Facebook Page to name the cushion and the name that won is "Loving Ewe Sheep Cushion"
The cushion is knitted in one piece and the back has a four button opening for easy removal of the cover for washing. Add some lovely sheep buttons to add interest to the back of the cushion.
If you already have Aran/Worsted yarns (10 ply) these could be used as long as they match the gauge as above. Change the background colour to knit a unique cushion for your home or knit as a gift for someone you know who deserves a cuddle from these fluffy sheep.

I first started to design clothes for my children when they were younger and went on to sell garments through shops and craft fairs. I also taught the use of machine knitting and knitwear design. I later followed a career in IT, but I now have grandchildren and whilst hand knitting for them was inspired to start designing and creating knitting patterns again.
