Knitted Ring Cushion


Today's project is the ring cushion-not really a priority but I saw something similar elsewhere and fancied copying!

The project requires:
Some wool & needles
Ribbon
Thread & needle
Stuffing

Cast on as many stitches as you want for the width of the cushion-mine isn't huge-only about 10cm wide. Then knit until you have the length of two sides. I was pretty lazy-rather than knit two pieces and stitch together, I just knitted one large piece and folded in half!

When you've finished knitting, fold the piece in half so the right sides are facing and stitch round, leaving a small hole. Turn inside out and fill with stuffing. Then stitch the hole shut.

Next I bordered the cushion with a purple ribbon stitched just on one side of the ribbon to make a border. Then I took some beige ribbon and stitched two lengths of it onto the cushion for each ring. Then simply thread the ring onto the ribbon and tie a bow! Easy peasy!
