An ottoman is a multifunctional piece of furniture that no living room should be without. It can provide extra storage and seating in your living room and may even be used as a coffee table. Transform an existing ottoman or a simple square cube with bands of crocheted color. This stylish
slipcover will help your ottoman take center stage!
The slipcover shown here was made using Cascade 220 (100% Peruvian highland wool, 3.5oz/100g, 220yd/201m) in colors #9473 (A), #9541 (B), #7808 (C), #9492 (D), #8686 (E), #2415 (F), #8339 (G) and #8415 (H).

Color Commentary from Sarah London
A range of darker colors was chosen for this project. Charcoal, purples, apricot, chocolate, mustard, blue and burgundy meld together nicely. The bands of deep, masculine color make a visual state- ment in a living room and are perfectly suited to combine with a sofa in a deep color, particularly mustard or maroon.
