Cher Marcus designed this playful Noughts and Crosses Cushion using the intarsia technique. Knitted in four shades of either Scheepjes Scrumptious or Colour Crafter, the DK yarns are soft, hypoallergenic and easy to care for, so a practical choice for a little one’s room. The jumbo-sized pieces are easy for tiny fingers to grasp and attach to the 45cm square cushion with press fasteners, keeping them tidy and safe.
