I thought long and hard about a quirky header for this blog post….be careful where you sit down, you don’t burn your bum!  The sun will literally shine out of your bottom… Any way as you can see, I chickened out and settle with the imaginative Sunshine Cushion!

If you are looking for a little sunshine in your life, then this generously sized cushion could really brighten up your day.  I designed this piece for Knit Now magazine a few months ago (I am sorry it has taken me so long to share this with you, but you can get your hands on the pattern by buying the back issue of the magazine).

It is knitted using Paton’s merino aran and is worked from the centre out, with each of the suns rays being knit in the round also, just perfect if like me, you hate sewing up.

You can find the pattern inside issue 46 of Knit Now Magazine.
