This design does require a ribber. It’s the only pattern in the book that does. Since Passaps and Superbas have a second bed built in, they can easily accomplish this design and instructions for them are included.

This pattern is for standard gauge machines with any double bed setup. Japanese standard gauge 4.5mm needle spacing machines with ribbers as well as European double bed machines 5mm needle spacing may be used. Settings for many models are included. Use a 3/15 yarn or sport weight yarn.

Following the same instructions on a midgauge or bulky machine with appropriate yarn will produce a similar but larger pillow.
