Bow Lap Pillow Crochet Pattern By Sara Sach

 Bow Lap Pillow Crochet Pattern 

By Sara Sach Of Posh Pooch Designs

The Lap Bow Pillow seems like an odd name

 for a pillow. It is named this because I was asked 

how to ease shoulder pain while crocheting, 

knitting, crafting, reading, or any thing we do 

while sitting.

I too have shoulder pain when I sit to long

 crocheting. I grab a couch pillow, put

 it on my lap to bring my project closer. 

It helps with slouching, posture and yes,

 shoulder pain. I am not a doctor, but I was 

told to do this by the Chiroprators office

 that I go to for my back issues.

I decided I wanted a "Lap Pillow" just 

for this purpose, and I wanted it to be cute.

So I designed it in the shape of the couch 

pillow I was using, only a little bigger. I added 

a band to make it look like a bow. 

And I think it is perfect. The Band pulls it in 

the center for a great fit when I sit to 

crochet, read or work a puzzle.

It measures about 14 X 24 inches, made of super 

soft super bulky (6) weight Bernat 

blanket yarn in shades of white and yellow.

It's super cute and it is comfy and useful.

I really love it.

It's an easy, and quick to stitch up crochet

 pattern, and it is so pretty. I just know you

 will want to make one.

Ans it also makes a great scrap happy

 pattern, when you use up those left over Bulky yarns.
