Description
The mighty guernsey, made for the couch — a square cushion knitted as a footy jumper: green body, a gold yoke knitted right in, shaped armholes and a shallow V neck.
📖 WHAT'S INSIDE
• The full written pattern for BOTH panels, every shaping row written out with stitch counts before and after — the whole-row colour change at the yoke (row 68), armhole cast-offs and decreases, the front V worked on both sides at once, and the back neck
• Abbreviations & how-to pages — casting off at the start of a row, joining a colour, picking up stitches for the edging, and every decrease explained in plain English
• Dimensioned front and back schematics drawn from the gauge maths (40 x 40 cm, yoke line marked) plus a numbered seam map showing the full joining route and the 20 cm hem opening
• Yarn totals up front: green 204 m / 102 g (buy 3 x 50g balls), gold 128 m / 64 g (buy 2)
• Full row-by-row trackers for both panels at the back, and finishing in full: blocking with key widths, mattress-stitch route, stuffing in three weighed stages
⚠️ SAFETY & CARE
The guide's care & safety page covers fibre fill (about 300 g), keeping stuffing away from little hands during making, and spot-clean care for the finished cushion.
🌿 THE AUSSIE BIT
Green and gold, the colours the whole country wears — knitted as a guernsey, stuffed as a cushion, claimed by whoever gets to the couch first.
