Step-by-Step Instructions

Knitting Instructions

1. Begin by casting on 40 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method with neon pink yarn.
2. For Row 1 (Right Side): Knit all stitches across the row.
3. For Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches across the row.
4. Repeat Rows 1 and 2, alternating colors every 4 rows in the following order:
   • Neon Pink
   • Neon Green
   • Neon Blue
   • Neon Yellow
5. Continue this pattern until the piece measures 30 inches in length.
6. Once you reach the desired length, bind off all stitches loosely to maintain elasticity.
7. Fold the knitted rectangle in half, aligning the cast-on edge with the bind-off edge.
8. Using a tapestry needle and matching yarn, sew the side seams together, leaving one short edge open for stuffing.
9. Turn the piece inside out to hide the seams, creating a clean finish.
10. Stuff the bed with soft filling material to your desired thickness for comfort.
11. Finally, sew the remaining open edge closed securely.
