Boho Handmade Macrame Cushion Cover

What is the design on this cushion cover?

A triangular lattice flap, knotted in a diamond pattern, falls across the face of a plain cushion and ends in long tassels. The plain base lets the knotwork stand out, so the flap becomes the focal point on a sofa or bed.

Where do the tassels sit?

They hang from the lower edge of the triangular flap, so they fall across the front of the cushion rather than around the sides. That gives the cover a relaxed, boho look and adds a soft, layered texture when it is propped upright on a sofa.

What size cushion does it fit?

The cover is 16 x 16 inches, so it fits a 16-inch square cushion. Measure your existing cushion before ordering so the cover sits neatly and the triangular flap stays centred on the front.

Which sofa colours will it go with?

Its neutral colouring goes with almost any palette. It looks warm on a beige, brown or rust sofa, gives contrast on dark grey, navy or bottle green, and adds texture on a white or cream sofa. Mix it with plain cushions in a solid colour so the knotwork stays the focus.

How do I clean it?

Spot clean with a damp cloth, or hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Gently squeeze out the excess water, then dry it flat or hang it to dry. Avoid the washing machine and the dryer.

Is it a good gift?

It is an easy one to give, for someone moving into a new flat or anyone who enjoys handmade decor. Being hand-knotted in cotton at the Indiehaat Macrame Unit in Maharashtra gives it a story, and the neutral colouring means it suits most homes.
