From the pattern description:

Give a bolster a new lease of life with this striking colour-patterend cover. It is deceptively easy to knit in a straight strip that is buttoned together, with circular end sections.

The honeycomb pattern is simple to work with slipped stitches. The circular end sections might take some practice.
