The Exton cushion cover is knitted in mitred squares which you join as you go. It is ideal for showing off the changing colours of a shaded yarn like the beautiful Mille Colori Baby but is also a great stash-buster as each square uses only a small amount of yarn.

As part of Yarndale@Home you can watch a tutorial on how to knit and join mitred squares from 12 noon on Saturday 26 September.

You will need 150g of 4ply yarn and a pair of 3.00mm needles.

This pattern is available as a free download or you buy a kit including 3 balls of Mille Colori Baby and a printed copy of the pattern.
