Celtic Knot Pillow<br />
Notes: This pillow is just a very long tube, stuffed and cleverly<br />
woven around itself to form a knot. It’s easiest to stuff the tube<br />
with toy stuffing as you knit. Don’t stuff the tube too tightly; the<br />
tube needs to bend. If the thought of a 100 inch tube is less than<br />
appealing to you, make several shorter lengths, stuff them, then<br />
graft the ends together to make one long tube.<br />
Weave in ends as you go.<br />
Yarn is held double throughout.<br />
Directions<br />
With yarn held double, cast on 36 sts provisionally if you want<br />
to graft later, or using the long-tail cast on if you plan to seam.<br />
Divide over needles of your choice and join to work in the round,<br />
being careful not to twist.<br />
Work in stockinette stitch (knit every round), lightly stuffing as<br />
you go, until tube measures 100 inches. Leave sts live; weave<br />
pillow together and test length before binding off.<br />
Finishing<br />
Weave tube into pillow according to instructions. Adjust loops for<br />
evenness. You may need to knit a couple more inches or rip out a<br />
couple of inches to make the pillow lay properly.<br />
