Would anyone have, or know how to or where to get a pattern for a cushion like this?

On the website it says its hand knitted from super soft chunky wool, and it's £75! :shocked:

It doesn't look that difficult, but then again what do I know.

Over to the experts! ;)

Unless there's something strange going on, that's just simple garter stitch (knit both sides all the way) with a single crossover of yarn colour on a diagonal.

If you can make up the rest of the cover (zip, backing, stitching etc) then you only need to know one stitch and be able to knit a square to do it.

EDIT- is the yarn some sort of cashmere or something? What justifies the price?

No it's acrylic wool! I know outrageous price! Thats why I thought I'm sure I could knit that.

I know the stitch is easy, it's how to cross over the colour I'm not sure about.

I'm a novice knitter :-)

Swapping colours is dead easy. Have a bit of a practise- cast on in one colour and then knit your first row in colour 1, then knit the first stitch of row 2 in colour 2 and just pass the yarn of colours 1 and 2 around each other and carry on knitting in colour 1.

As long as you make sure as you knit in the same tension with both yarns and don't leave big baggy loops between the two colours then it should give you a lovely clean join.

Bring the join one stitch further across each row until you have a two coloured square split along the diagonal :)

Trust me, this one is an easy thing to learn to add to your knitting skills :)
