Tunisian honeycomb stitch is a fancy-looking but simply executed pattern that really shows off variegated yarn. The body of the bolster is worked first; a circle of single crochet on each end closes the cylinder.

Technique photos and written instructions are in the pattern.

You will need a Tunisian hook size H; you can use this to crochet the end pieces also, or switch to a regular H hook. You will also need a bolster pillow form, 13 inches long x 6 inches in diameter; a stitch marker; straight pins; and a tapestry needle for weaving in ends. The pillow does not use the entire skein of yarn.
