London Bus Cushion

The bright red shade of a London bus is unmistakeable, and looks amazing in this squishy cushion. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the bus is knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round). The windows are knitted using intarsia colour-work, and charts plus a written pattern are provided. The destination and bus number are embroidered after knitting using Swiss darning/duplicate stitch. You could personalise your bus to add a name and age instead to make the bus as a birthday present, or house number and family name for a housewarming gift. For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, and seaming to finish.
