KELMSCOTT & MELSETTER

The patterns for the Fruit Garden cushions, which I have called Kelmscott & Melsetter, are free to download but you will need to also download the patterns for the Fruit Garden motifs from the Stylecraft web site. The cushion patterns tell you which blocks to make, how to join the motifs to ​make the cushion panels and how to create the edgings and button bands.

The patterns for the cushion covers are available as a free download, but you can make an optional donation to me
via the 'Support' button below if you would like to do so.   

Paper brochure patterns for the cushion covers are available at a reduced cost of £3.95 plus P&P.

You can download the pattern in UK terms here and in US terms here.
You will find the buttons I used for my cushions in my shop here.​

For the cushion covers you will need:

To help you judge if you have enough yarn in your stash, or within your leftovers from the Fruit Garden CAL, to use to make the cushion cover I have made a note of how much yarn of each shade is used. 
 
It is a good idea to overestimate yarn usage in case you achieve a slightly different tension to me or leave longer tail ends. For example, where I say I have used 13g of the shade Rose, you would be wise to ensure you have at least 15g.
