Stained Glass Scrap Blanket

I wanted to do something different to use up some of the odd bits of yarn I have and found this pattern in Ravelry.

Stained Glass Scrap Blanket

The pattern is nice and easy and works up well the problem is being stocking stitch the sides tend to roll. Adding the border helps but not being great at picking up stitches down the sides it still did not look right.
So I solved the problem and turned it into a cushion cover.

This is the front or back of the cushion cover. I created an envelope croched the flap edge with a nice shell pattern and used some Icord for the closure.

This is the other side of the cushion cover, by creating an envelope the pattern is now on the diagonal and personally I like it better that way.
I used a total of 304 yards of DK yarn and a fair bit of oddments of yarn so a good pattern for stash busting.

If I was to do this again I would add more stitches and knit the border in that way it would lay flat and I would not have the problem of picking up stitches.
