Crochet Rainbow Pillow

About the project

Rainbow pillow using many types of yarn

Project details:

This was a kind of ridiculous but really fun colorful project using a bunch of novelty yarn and some other leftovers from old projects! My daughter is into rainbows so this was a gift for her to play with and put in her room

If doing it again I would have added a couple more purples or made those ones wider since they’re a bit hidden at the bottom when looking at it from the side. I basically just made a big circle and then folded in half and stuffed it and crocheted the sides together. I also hadn’t crocheted with eyelash yarn before and found it looked nicer if I crocheted those ones on the “wrong side” because the extra pieces seem to get trapped in the back otherwise.

Free handed a circle then sewed the sides up. Free handed puffy clouds by doing standard increases to the width I want and then 2 rows at that width. E.g. biggest cloud was:
