I originally designed this pillow to go on my daughter’s bed to act as a kind of support pillow or cushioned headboard. It’s very densely stuffed with over a kg of reclaimed duvet fibre filling to make her metal bed a lot more comfortable.

It uses 3 balls of Bernat Blanket yarn, but I would love to see it knitted up in rainbow colours!

This giant rainbow pillow is knitted on 3 separate 150cm circular needles to accommodate all of the stitches. It uses Judy Becker’s magic cast on, but as you are working with 3 needles, you don’t need to pull the needle cable through as you do for magic loop.

I’ve added a couple of video tutorials for Judy Becker’s cast on as I haven’t seen anyone cast on this many stitches over two needles using Judy Becker’s cast on.

The knitting pattern can be found here
