After you have connected the circle of the required size, the increments are not made. Knitting continues without adding, and with each round it will increasingly look like a pillow. In this way, knitting continues until the pillow height of your choice is obtained. Next, we again knit a smooth round surface, only now it is necessary to carry out the reduction (skipping the loops in the bottom row). The photo shows how the knitting of such a pillow ends. For its internal filling, foam rubber or other material, for example, more dense, can be used. In this case, you get an excellent floor pillow that your children will like.
