Delight the kids with this Rainbow Pajama Pillow pattern. Fat bands of brilliant color hold all the stuffing. It’s also dramatic in pastels, too. A hidden zipper reveals the center compartment where the kids can stuff their pajamas or other treasures!

Whether you make the rainbow pajama pillow for a special child or convert it into a regular pillow for other rainbow-lovers, you certainly will take pride in your achievement! What more can you ask for?

Lots of fun and lots to learn! Originally, the rainbow pajama pillow pattern was designed to practice three knitting machine techniques: garter bar decreases, rehanging stitches, and a very simple form of quilting! Additionally, you will have an opportunity to sew a zipper into a knit project! And that is always fun!

Best of all, the rainbows easily forgive little boo-boos. As you complete the two sides of the rainbow pillow, you will have plenty of opportunity to practice your techniques and hone your skill!

Start by selecting the seven colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. Then, rewind the yarn to check for knots or snags and prepare the yarn for the machine. Using any basic mid-gauge or bulky knitting machine begin knitting!

The rainbow pajama pillow pattern makes the perfect project. In an afternoon, you transform inexpensive supplies into an ideal gift.

P.S. The Unicorn Doll and Unicorn Puppet patterns are available separately! And don’t forget Sean the Leprechaun!
