What’s more cheerful than a sunny sunshine pillow? Add to your weather nursery theme with this playful pillow. It pairs perfectly with Rory Rainbow.

This pattern is written In US terms. I rate this pattern as beginner/ intermediate. And while it uses basic crochet stitches, it does require a lot of patience and a bit of skill when it comes to crocheting the sunny “ridges” around the outside. However if at any point you are stuck in the pattern, Please send me a message, and I will get back to you ASAP with the help you need.

Sunny measures approx. 9.5 inches in diameter. I have written this pattern with all the corresponding pictures on the last page, and have numbered them for easy reference. This will allow for more experienced makers to quickly work through the pattern, and for beginner makers to have the printed pictures ready to reference if need be.

And lastly the colors I use are just a suggestion, to give you an idea. Of course you may choose whatever color combo you like.
