How you Made it: Torridon Cushion

Torridon Cushion by knitonthenet

The Torridon Cushion featured in the very first issue of knitonthenet in November 2006. A beautiful addition to any chair, the original was knitted in an alpaca blend using a colour palette from nature.

There have been some lovely interpretations of the pattern including the two below which were knitted by Clasca from Amsterdam as gifts.
