    About

    Having knitted many years ago when I was younger I didn't pick up my needles for a long time. I recently started again and now find knitting to be addictive and a good way to unwind at the end of a day.
    We bought a small caravan last year and I want some knitted cushions to go in it so I designed this cushion cover from a picture of my caravan.
    I used King Cole Merino Blend DK wool, which is lovely & soft to handle, with Kingfisher as the background colour. It now sits proudly in the caravan along with the Compass Rose Cushion I also designed to reflect my love of travelling.
    Substitute the Oatmeal with White to make it cheaper.

      Hi Caroline. I have just purchased a caravan so was super excited to find your knitting pattern! I am going to fill it with cushions! I purchased all the wool you recommended but can't help but notice that the glacier wool seems to be very similar to the kingfisher wool, it's just a bit more of a green colour than kingfisher. I just wanted to check this is correct and there hadn't been a typo in the pattern please. Many thanks, Vicky

        Hi Vicky The Glacier wool does look a greeny colour on the Web site but it is the darker grey in the photo of my caravan cushion. It definitely wasn't green in real life when i purchased it! If it isn't a dark grey when you receive it please let me know. Thank you very much for purchasing my pattern. Caroline

        Hi Vicky Just had another look and i'm really sorry but there is a mistake. It should be Clerical which is dark grey. Many apologies Caroline.

      This is an Eriba caravan. I have one just like it. I'll have to make one of these. It's great and beautifully made.

        Thanks Alison. We bought an Eriba caravan this summer and I just had to design a cushion cover with the image on it.
