Guðrún Ragna Sigurjónsdóttir’s cushion cover from Ístex’s Lopi 30, in Álafosslopi: a front of interlocking cables that looks woven, a plain moss-stitch back, a zip in the top edge and a braided cord round the edges. Both pieces are knitted flat, in one colour, for a 40 × 40 cm cushion insert. The pattern’s only colour, fairy green (9984) — a pale greenish oat in the photo — is no longer made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you get\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe knitting pattern in English (PDF), emailed right after purchase — nothing is posted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne size, for a 40 × 40 cm cushion insert\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe cable chart for the front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYarn and needles are not included.

The front is 65 stitches of cables from an 8-row chart: a row of 6-stitch cables (3 over 3) is crossed one way, and four rows later the next row of cables is crossed the other way, shifted by 3 stitches — so the whole front looks woven. The back is 41 stitches of moss stitch. Both pieces are knitted to 37 cm, rinsed, and smoothed to 37 × 37 cm to dry. They are sewn together on the right side at the sides and bottom, a 30 cm zip goes in the middle of the top edge, and a braided cord is sewn on over the edges all the way round, starting and ending at the zip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign: Guðrún Ragna Sigurjónsdóttir — pattern from Lopi No. 30 (no. 13), Ístex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ístex","offers":[{"title":"English","offer_id":67601209065525,"sku":"PAT-EN-THARI","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1662\/1057\/files\/lopi30-thari-1_51ace928-a65b-4f5f-af22-4e9ad2bc2c0a.jpg?v=1790999354","url":"https:\/\/icelandicstore.is\/products\/thari-basketweave-cable-cushion-knitting-pattern","provider":"The Icelandic Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
