The finished pillow is about 64 inches around, 10 1/2 inches from the floor to the top of the pillow and 21 inches in diameter.

To knit this pattern you will need to know how to knit in the round using circular knitting needles. Size US 11 needles are required for this pattern and 3 skeins of the Bernat Mix Home yarn - or 466 yards of another bulky weight yarn.
