I love the way, on a hot summer’s day, the mixture of wind and waves causes little ripples over the surface of the sea. This easy stitch pattern, consisting of knit and purl stitches, catches this wavy effect perfectly.
The pattern is easy If you choose the no-buttonhole option - otherwise it's intermediate. And this lovely superchunky/superbulky yarn makes for an up-to-date and super-quick knit. Instructions are written line by line in English, with British/American terms. The cover is knitted flat and sewn up the sides.
This is an envelope cushion cover with decorative buttons and buttonholes on the front, with an option of a button-less opening, if you prefer.
Why not bring a touch of the sea to your home?
The Lonely Sea - Heather Corcoran
I have a bag that say ' I knit therefore I am' - sums me up perfectly! I love to knit and love to design! I have knitted for years, and made and sold literally hundreds of owl gloves and fingerless mitts on-line. About 8 years ago, I decided to give designing and writing patterns a go, and I absolutely love it! The whole process is absolutely captivating, and I love to see other knitters' projects made from my patterns. My beautiful cavvy, Honey, is my constant companion, and she sleeps next to me on the settee while I knit. You can also find me on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/thelonelyseapatterns/
