Modern Daily Knitting Kites I-Cushion Kit

The Modern Daily Knitting Kites I-Cushion Kit includes Field Guide No. 16: Painterly and the 15 colors of Felted Tweed yarn needed to knit this colorful pillow cover.

These delightful pillow covers will bring a kaleidoscope of color into any room you put them into and they are an ideal way to dip your toe into intarsia. Field Guide 16 breaks down this often intimidating technique into its truly simple steps while you create a stunning décor item for your home. Choose from the cool or bright palette and enjoy the beautiful heathered shades of Rowan Felted Tweed as you work on your project. Intarsia pattern is charted only.

Please Note: if you would like to knit the back of your pillow cover instead of using a fabric back, you will need to purchase 2 additional balls of Felted Tweed to work it in a single, solid color. Pillow back can also be knit using the leftover yarn from the intarsia front, striping as desired.
