I picked up this yarn (bulk size 5) just for fun the other day. It has almost a terrycloth feel to it, so I was going to make a face towel with a skull in it done in tapestry (SnB's "skullholder" pattern). I wasn't really paying attention, and when I ran out of yarn, I discovered I had this:

A perfect horseshoe shape. I couldn't have made a better horseshoe if I had been trying.

After this photo, I finished off the blue yarn completely by doing a quick scallop edging. It's very soft and cuddly. My husband immediately picked it up and started petting it (he would die if he knew I told you that). The horseshoe shape fits perfectly around the neck.

So, what do you think it is? The best I can think to call it is a "lovie." We don't have pets or children, so it can't really turn into a lovie for them!

What do you think it is?

How about one of those neck rests? You'd need a second side and then stuff it. Could even add something like rice inside or something to heat it up when needed... Maybe do the second side in a diffferent yarn, depending on your mood you could use either side.

What an awesome idea! I never would have thought of that . . .

I probably couldn't stuff it with rice, because the yarn is bulky and the stitches are large. But I definitely could stuff it with polyfill . . .

I saw it and thought neck pillow, or "disgusting public restroom but really gotta go and can't hover" cosy.

You could stuff it with rice if you put the rice in some fabric first. Rice hot/cold packs are awsume....
