Decorative Handmade Macrame Cushion Cover

What pattern does this cushion cover have?

It has an all-over diagonal lattice, a grid of small diamonds made by crossing cords, with tiny starburst knots set into the lattice. Because the pattern covers the whole front, it reads as a rich, even texture rather than a single motif.

What does it look like up close?

Up close you see the individual knots and crossing cords, with the starburst knots catching the eye. From a distance it reads as a quiet textured surface in cream and light grey-beige, so it adds depth to a sofa without loud colour.

Which size is it?

It is a 16 x 16 inch cover for a 16-inch square cushion. An insert of the same size shows the lattice evenly across the front, so measure your cushion before you order.

What will it pair with?

The neutral colouring complements most colour schemes. Try it with solid cushions in rust, mustard, olive or deep blue for contrast, or with linen and cream tones for a soft, layered look. A knitted throw or a cotton dhurrie nearby picks up the texture.

Can I wash it at home?

Yes, by hand. Hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent, or simply spot clean with a damp cloth. Squeeze out the water gently, then air dry it flat or hang it up. Keep it out of the washing machine and the dryer.

Where can I use it?

It works on a sofa, a bed, an armchair or a window seat. Because the pattern is all-over and fairly small in scale, it sits well in a group of cushions and also holds its own on a single chair.
