We've all become used to eating outdoors more than ever, but sometimes outdoor seating could use a little more comfort. This cute reversible seat pad will help take the heat OR the cold out of outdoor seating, and can easily be folded and carried in your bag. The Tropical Seat Pad is worked flat as a rectangle, then folded and seamed along 3 sides to make a double-layered, reversible square. The chair pad is finished with optional simple garter stitch ties for attachment to a chair. The pattern is ideal for those new to working with several colours, as only one colour is worked at a time.
Only one set of knitting needles (3.5mm/US4) are required, and the pattern is perfect for using up smaller amounts of fingering weight yarn. The pattern was originally published in the UK magazine 'Your Knitting & Crochet', and written and charted instructions are included.
AranAccessories
I'm a knitter from the Aran Islands, combining traditional elements of Aran knitting (e.g. cables, lattice work) with more modern techniques, such as seamless knitting, to create my own original designs.
I first learnt to knit when I was about 6, and, at school, we moved on to Aran knitting pretty quickly! I kept knitting over the years, as a hobby, and also started knitting some items for my cousin to sell on Inis Mor, the largest of the Aran Islands. Then came the brainwave of setting up a shop online, so people could buy original Aran knits without having to come all the way here! I loved creating my own original designs, and eventually made the step to publishing them : )
I'm always happy to hear from you if you have any queries about my shop! You can find my online shop at www.aranaccessories.net and follow me on Twitter, Instagram and Tumblr @aranaccessories ; I am on Facebook at aranaccessories.net Le gach beannacht/With best wishes, Máirín Ní Dhonncha
