the same yarn used for the project and sew

the side seams with a zigzag stitch. Fill your

cushion with a pillow form, stuing or even

scraps of yarn until you have the desired

shape and fullness (2). Sew the top of the

cushion closed. Make a knot and draw the

ends into the cushion to hide (3).

FRINGE

Cut strands about 18cm (7in) long and

tie them at the places indicated in the

under the stitch to catch the loop, then

insert the loose ends through the loop.

knot placement for fringe.
