Remember these diagonal striped cushions in simple rows of dc [tr)?
This is a version of the basic diagonal cushion in Moss Stitch, I've picking the colours from my workroom rug. Moss Stitch makes a much firmer and longer lasting cushion cover with very little stretch so it holds its shape for many years...
Moss stitch is an easy but wonderfully decorative stitch that can be used for borders on throws...

MOSS ST. DIAGONAL CUSHION
APPROX. ST NUMBERS
Moss stitch tightens up a little as you work it, this is a guide to the number of stitches for a particular size of cushion pad, but you would be best to do a tension sample as Moss stitch has very little stretch
These sts numbers are for Moss Stitch only
Using a double strand of DK or chunky worked together and a 6mm hook
70 base chain, will make a 13" diagonal cushion...but make an 18" straight cushion bag
82 base chain, will make a 16" diagonal cushion
90 base chain will make an 18" diagonal cushion
98 base chain will make a 20" diagonal cushion
The cushion could be made in dk and a 4mm hook but the stitch count will be bigger than these recommended numbers
