Latch hook is worked by knotting the pre-cut acrylic yarn into the holes of the canvas with the hook. The design is painted straight onto the canvas, so there is no counting involved: you just follow the colours. It is repetitive, relaxing work that grows quickly and can easily be shared with older children.
What you end up with is the front panel of the cover, soft and velvety: the cushion pad and the backing fabric are not included and need to be bought separately, along with a little sewing to make up the cover. The finished panel can also be used as a small rug or hung as a picture.
