Being as I raise Yorkies, I thought this 'yorkie in pajamas'design from Embroidery Library was just the thing for my hot/cold pack. The cover is removeable so that it can be washed. The filler in the pack is rice.

132773Really nice - where did you get the pattern for the Hot/cold Pack? I need to make me one that will go around my knees. I have to have knee replacement surgery soon.
Thanks for sharing

I'm sorry, I don't remember the site that had the hot/cold pack as a project. I had to customize the shape and size for my use ( I have neck, shoulder & upper back issues. ) For the inner pack (filled with rice), sew 3 edges leaving the 4th edge open, I stitched 3 lines across the width, to form 4 "pouches", filled them with the rice and then stitched that 4th edge closed with a longer stitch and contrasting thread. That way the rice is not settling down into one end of the pack; and that 4th edge can easily be "ripped open" and the rice replaced if need be. (hope this wasn't too confusing) Blessings to you. I hope your knee surgery goes very well for you!!

Thank you! That's exactly what I made it for; it can wrap totally around the neck (maybe I should have added some ties to hold it), or drape across the shoulders and upper back.
