A great project to practice knit and purl stitches: large cushion covers worked in the incredibly soft yarn Alpaca Classico. It is knit with 2 strands held together, giving the simple but appealing stitch pattern a nice texture. The cushion cover is knit in one piece, then a button band and placket are attached in garter stitch and, to finish, the pieces are sewn together along the edges. The finished size: approx. 50 x 50 cm/20 x 20 in. Alpaca Classico is not only available in trendy gold or gray shades, but in many other different colors that surely will be a perfect match for your couch.
