tropical flower is a nice bright knitted cushion cover which uses rowan's hand knit cotton yarn -the circular shape of the cushion is achieved by working the short row shaping technique and the cushion cover has a central crochet medallion which is sewn into place once the knitted piece is complete - if you have not done the short row shaping technique before you can download our free tips and techniques guide when checking out - this project would make a great introduction to both short row shaping and knitted colour work.
