heart cushion. Finish him off with a cute party hat

quick teacup gardens by oristry whiz Marie Parry (page 27). Or spend just
a little more time making our pretty tile coasters (p34) – they're perfect
for a speedy tenner. And whatever you do, don't miss our hooded scarf on
page 28 – it's a precious, soft make for knitters who are crazy for comfy.
