Description
The whole pitch for your couch — a long bat cushion with knitted-in willow grain and a green-and-gold grip, plus a stumps bolster: three uprights with domed tops and two little bails to sit on them.
📖 WHAT'S INSIDE
• The full written bat pattern (200 rows): toe, blade, shoulders, grip and cap, every shaping row written out with counts — including the five recessed purl grain columns knitted into the blade and the two double gold bands on the grip
• The full written stumps: three uprights with a six-step decrease dome, plus both bails (barrel and spigots — knit them over an 11 cm dowel if you like the peg ends in the photos)
• Abbreviations & how-to pages — every increase, decrease, colour change and seam explained in plain English
• Dimensioned schematics drawn from the pattern's own counts: the bat panel with its colour boundaries and band positions marked, the stumps front view, and the seam map
• Yarn totals up front for every colour: cream (buy 2 balls), green (1), gold (1, scraps fine) and natural tan for the stumps (buy 5)
• Full row-by-row trackers (bat 200 rows, stump 112 rows) and finishing in full: blocking, stitch-by-stitch seaming, stuffing checkpoints, stump bases and tacking
⚠️ SAFETY & CARE
The guide's care & safety page covers fibre fill (about 250 g for the bat, 300 g for the stumps), the optional dowel cores, and spot-clean care for the finished set.
🌿 THE AUSSIE BIT
Cream willow, green grip, gold bands and a set of stumps with their bails balanced on top — Boxing Day at the cricket, without leaving the lounge room.
