I really like your cushion. I like it's unfussiness. We went to buy some for our new old rocking chair but they were all too fancy with uncomfortable fiddly bits. Maybe knitting my own is the way...
Thank you Leigh for the comment, if you do knit your own and use this pattern, let me know how it turns out, I'd love to see.
I'm going to have to have a go at this. It looks fairly straightforward for someone like me who is a bit on the rubbish side when it comes to knitting x
Hello, it says to sew the button on with a piece of felt behind. Does the felt need to be attatched to the knitting at the back or do i just hold it in place while i stitch on the button?
Thanks
Hi Inga
Yes just hold the felt in place at the back of the knitting, while you sew on the button. The felt is not essential but it should help to provide a secure place to attach the button.
hope this helps,
Julia x
