* NOTE: I used Red Heart Super Saver for all 5 colors and the white. I had intended to use lavender as well but miss judged where I was in the pillow by the time I finished with the blue color so I did not include it. I would start at round 16 with the color changes in order to be able to add lavender. Maybe in the future I will make another one with this pattern and include the lavender starting sooner in the rounds. I used Caron Simply Soft in the multi color in the example but you can use any multicolor yarn you want as long as it is 4 ply acrylic. I really wanted to use Candy colors for the multi but did not have any.
