This is a really easy crochet rainbow pillow/plushie! It’s about 14 inches (35cm) wide when finished.
You will need 7 different colors for this.
I used small 20g balls for all but the red and had enough. Keep in mind that the inner colors will need less yarn than the outer yarns.

For example, you will need about 6g of purple, and 24g red.

This doesn’t have to be exact rainbow colors either! Just pick 7 of your favorite colors and go with it.

8ply is just what I used, you can definitely use a different ply. Just be sure to use the same ply yarn for each color to keep gauge correct.

The top half of instructions are written in US terminology, the bottom half are in UK terminology.

You will want the 3.25mm hook (a smaller hook than suggested for the yarn size) to make sure the stuffing doesn’t poke through the colors.

The 4mm hook is optional, it just makes it easier to start in the chain.
