neck pillow
Like the other lady said, this isn’t my pattern, I’m just putting it here so its not lost. The dead dead link is here. A friend suggested that I get one of these for the trip to Darwin. I’m looking at a 6+ hour flight. I won’t have any spare money for a one off thing, but I have more than enough yarn and stuffing to make one. And fabric. Might end up making two

Fasten off after row 27
I would wholeheartedly agree with the recommendation to get one!! I ended up using my rolled up cardi as a neck pillow last night and it made SUCH a difference to comfort levels. Shame I had a sore tailbone!!
I’ve eyed them at the airports (around $20) but thought, “naaah…Don’t need that!” Wrong.
The person who suggested I get one was window shopping in Ebay for some, but they were plastic, and looked like they had sharp edges – neither of which sound in any way comfortable enough for a long haul. Maybe a plastic one in a cover would work though.
