Pattern description from Knockdown Knits: “While broken legs and ankles happen a lot more than we would like, the injury that seems to affect the most girls is the hurt booty. From simple bruises to broken tailbones, it can make sitting down a real pain for several weeks. This donut-shaped pillow is a mercy for the sore bottom. Stuffed with polyester fiberfill for extra cushioning, it softens the blow of a firm office chair and makes sitting down (and knitting!) at home just a little easier to handle. Knit in the round, from the center out and back again , it’s a relatively quick knit. Make a couple and keep them around for the girls that take that hard fall to the tailbone.”
