Add a spare from your stash to create this hip homeware
One extra ball of yarn alongside your Artsy kit is all you need to make this stunning cushion, designed by SARAH-JANE HICKS. Each square uses three of the six shades from your kit in the order of your choosing, plus your extra yarn. With six colours and 16 squares there’s no need to make the same square twice, so aim to create as many different combos as possible for maximum impact!
