Pattern description from Knockdown Knits: “When the leg injuries happen - whether it’s feet, ankles, or knees - elevation is usually key to help with the healing process. But with girls coming over to visit and bringing you movies and food, who wants their foot propped under a regular old pillow? This funky rectangle is perfect because not only does it help heal your injury, but it also looks great just hanging around your house. Tap into your inner kid with the bright, clashing colors, the fun of felting, and the joy of a quick project!”
