MOSS STITCH CUSHION PATTERN, Throw, cowl and more

This is an old pattern but I can not recommend Moss Stitch enough for cushion covers. Its a firm and none stretch stitch that will give you a cushion cover that lasts years with out stretching out of shape.
Very decorative and can look so different, with just the colour combination you can achieve stripes spots or a tweed look.

Moss stitch blanket in a tweed finish, the same combination as the cushion, again its the same stitch just a different colour combination



Colour combinations give different looks but the stitch does change 
Same Moss Stitch different colour combo using space dyed yarn and a plain yarn gives something similar to a Fair Isle look


same Moss stitch below gives a striped look
 same stitch just different combination of colour combination gives you a spot


is a link to several projects using
 MOSS STITCH and showing you all the variations.

PATTERN: CYCLE BASKET DECORATION


new bike with decorated basket, first day out and I received my first compliment too.



Second bike ride today...bit of a mistake i almost didn't make it home.

Does 4 hours of exercise in 2 days count for your 3+ hours a week and i can stay in bed and crochet for the rest of the week? lol
