From ancient times, mid-winter has been celebrated by decorating our homes with greenery. Amidst the snow and the cold the green branches promise the return of Spring and warmer times ahead. Now, we just need to add extra touches to bring that revitalising theme into the whole room.


The Verwood Cushions feature wide-spaced ribbed cables for a wonderful texture and depth of colour. They are worked in a deep green bulky yarn which knits up quickly, and the pattern includes two different sizes.


Please see below for more details about this pattern.
