Step 4: Knit it.
It's that simple - follow the pattern (I've added the PDF to this step), and create your item.
Be aware that the pattern is written in English knitting code (although the translation is simple) - when it tells you to knit or perl so many of a particular letter, then refer to the key to see which colour they mean.
For this cushion, the pattern only makes the front, 40cm square. For the back, I knitted two rectangles that over-lapped when I made the cover up, so that I could use the envelope-style gap to stuff the cushion into the cover. If you are going to stuff the cushion, you could just make a simple square and sew up most of the way round before stuffing and finishing off.
----------------------------
If you follow the pattern exactly, you get four separate squares that you need to sew together. To cut down on seams, I knitted each side continuously, without casting off and on between the top and bottom squares. This gave me two tall rectangles to sew together.
Next time I do this, I plan on following the pattern continuously, all the way across from side-to-side, simply by reading the top line of the top-left square, then the top line of the top-right square, then the second line of the top-left etc, finishing off with the last line of the bottom-left, then the bottom line of the bottom-right. I will probably have to tape the pages together into one large sheet, but it will be worth it.
