Have you ever had a piercing that you couldn't sleep on? I have certainly had a few, and trust me... they sting! And they ache all day after laying on them all night.
I had the genius idea of using a travel pillow, which works in a way, but is a little bit cumbersome on top of your regular pillows.... so I was on the quest to find something a little smaller and flatter, but which still did the job of cushioning around the ear.
Of course, I will make one, I thought to myself..... but out of what? Then I eyed up the bathroom sponge and though 'aha!'
Obviously... I trotted myself off to the local supermarket and bought a brand new sponge, then with a little snippity snip of the scissors and a little magic with the crochet hook, I made this...
And it cushions the ear perfectly!
So now I can lay on whichever side I like and get comfortable.... I did think about crocheting a band to hold it securely onto my head.....but as I have a stingy piercing in BOTH ears (flat and forward helix) its easier to swap it around as I turn. Having said that... I might make another and totally rock this style..
Anyway, if you fancy making one for yourself you will need a basic bath sponge (the covering is made-to-measure so don't worry about getting the exact size or shape), a 4.00mm crochet hook - my favourite is the Clover Amour and some Double Knit (DK) yarn in the colour of your choice.
And you will find the step-by-step video here.....
Hope you have fun making these, please feel free to tag me on Facebook or Instagram, always love to see your work, it's 'Sooz in The Shed' on both!
Until next time..... HAPPY HOOKING!
