finishing steps for
Uptown Worsted
cushion cover
The finished cover pieces are ready to
be sewn together! 4 skeins of Uptown
Worsted have been transformed.
When the front and back parts of the cushion
cover are knit up, here are 2 steps to finish the
cushion. If there are new skills in here for you,
don't be shy about taking the time to read up
on how to do each technique. Everyone has to
try these things for the first time at some point,
as a knitter, so if this is your first practice, then
great! You'll learn some new skills along the way.
Just be patient with yourself. A cushion cover is
the perfect project to practice on.
The first step is to sew the two square pieces
together at the sides, by working a vertical
seam. There are good instructions for how to
do this in a lot of places online, as well as your
own knitting reference books if you have them
at home. Here is one nice visual (with set-up
image and in-progress image), a YouTube video.
Take a few stitch markers and hold the two
pieces together at the sides so you have them
pieced together evenly in preparation. Work
a vertical seam twice using Uptown Worsted
yarn and tapestry needle, attaching the pieces
together. These steps are shown in the 2 photos
on this page.
Use stitch markers to hold your pieces
together, before starting the vertical seam.
