Knitting pattern to make absolutely stunning cushion covers for Christmas. They are knitted in one piece, only the nose has to be sewn on, and the side seams. They fasten at the back with 5 buttons for easy removal and washing. The pattern can either be knitted in stocking stitch or a textured waffle pattern.
