You ever have the problem when you flip back in the recliner that it's just too far back for your head? I get that all the time. After too many large pillows that just make my head too hot in these summer months, I've devised the dogbone pillow.
The design is pretty simple: Take a tube and make the ends puffier than the middle. I took some yarn that I spun up in a wool/cashmere blend from WoolyRhinoceros and spun it to a fingering-type yarn (also could be called sock-weight)
Want the pattern? Here it is:
Dogbone Pillow
by Ruddawg Designs
Yarn: Handspun wool/cashmere blend in yellow : fingering weight
Needles: Size 4 double-pointed needles
Other items needed; Stitch markers (10), yarn needle, scissors.
Gauge: We don't need no stinkin' gauge. It's a pillow for crying out loud!
The wider ends keeps the pillow in place and keeps your shoulders from shrugging and getting sore. The pillow can be stuffed with whatever is good for the knitter
there lives a woman with knitting needles of fire.
