Cabled Cushion Cover Knitting Pattern

A free download for you today, my pattern for knitting a cabled cover for a 15 inch (38 cm) square pillow insert. Click the following link for a PDF of the pattern, Pattern: Cabled Cushion Cover. (If the link gives you any trouble, email me at laurie [at] oddbirdstudio [dot] com and I'll send the pattern to you as an attachment.)
I made the orange cover with Legacy Bulky by O-Wool. Since first raving about O-Wool in this post, I happen to have moved house to O-Wool's neighborhood. Only a couple blocks away, in fact. I've walked by O-Wool's home countless times without even knowing it. And now, Legacy Bulky is on sale as it is being discontinued to make way for new products. So I thought it might be nice to encourage you to snap up 3 skeins of Legacy Bulky while you still can and use them to make your own cushion cover. (This is not a sponsored post, I just happen to admire O-Wool's environmental values and business ethics and find their yarns delicious.)

It's been so long since I made one of these, I'm not sure I can offer any help if you get stuck with my directions. But here's some technique tutorials I find helpful.
