Full Etsy listing description
Knit a little colour into your sofa. Sunset Stripe pairs sage, peach and terracotta front bands with a soft cream envelope back. Every row is knit stitch, making this a satisfying project for a confident beginner. The colourful 8-page guide includes: • Two sizes, designed for 40 x 40 cm or 45 x 45 cm square cushion pads. • Complete row schedules and clearly marked fold points. • Gauge, colour-change and yarn-planning guidance. • Illustrated folding and seaming instructions. • Optional sizing calculations, troubleshooting and a project tracker. Work one long rectangle, fold the overlapping back flaps and sew two side seams. The envelope opening lets you remove the cover for washing, with no buttons or zip. Use aran / worsted yarn in four colours and start with 5 mm / US 8 needles, adjusting to the washed gauge. Make the sunset palette shown, choose your own colours or keep it beautifully simple in one shade. Digital download. A cheerful handmade-home project or a thoughtful gift to knit.

A little practical help

What do I need for Moss & Meadow?

Be comfortable with casting on, knitting and purling. The pattern uses Aran cotton, is knitted flat and suggests starting with 5 mm needles. Read the gauge and measuring instructions before choosing one of the three written sizes.

Can the plant-pot cosy stay on when I water?

Remove the cosy before watering. It is a decorative sleeve, not a waterproof container. Follow the care guidance for your yarn and the finished project.
