Use as a sleep mask or just to shade your eyes and de-stress for a lovely little moment in your busy day! (Lion Brand Yarn)

For many of us, the very act of knitting is soothing. But sometimes you need more than needles to de-stress. On those trying days, sling this nicely weighty, flower-scented pillow over your eyes and check out for a few minutes.

In keeping with the whole relaxation theme, this pattern is easy and breezy. It’s basically two rectangles sewn together, with a slight curve built in to fit your face. If you’re feeling less confident with the sticks, just leave out the shaping and make a squarer pillow. Ahhhhh!
