Guide step %d
1   Cut a piece of latch fabric ensuring there are a minimum of 30 complete rya holes along the width and 29 along the length: 26 holes for 13 rya knots are needed for the width of this cushion. Add a seam equivalent to min. two holes all the way round (30 holes). Cover the edges with masking tape so they do not fray. N.B.: One roll of latch fabric (1 meter x 0.5 meter) is enough for eight animal cushions.
