If you would like to make the cushion bigger, simply use a larger hook and yarn or add stitches and
rows equally to the top, bottom or sides to your required size.
It's very important not to pull too tightly or leave the yarn too loose across the back of the image or
your cushion will not lie flat. Fasten off yarn and weave in ends.
