BURST STITCH ICE/HOT PAK POUCH PATTERN

Updated: Jan 26, 2023

My poor hubby recently had to have emergency back surgery which threw us all for a major loop. Thank God for the amazing doctors that managed to not only diagnose but fix the problem in record time!!







Me being me wanted to do something more than I was already doing as his stand in nurse. I wanted to use my God given talents with my yarn stash to create something to aid in his recovery.



I was inspired to create these handy little pouches for his many necessary ice packs. After some trial and error from my poor guinea pig I managed to come up with 2 wonderful designs. Just pop the ice pack in the pouch and stick the whole thing in the freezer. I chose to use cotton yarn because it's easily washable and also seems to stay cold longer. I found these amazing Cryopak Ice Pak/Hot Paks at our local Dollar General and, being as those stores seem to pop up like dandelions, figured they would be easily found by most people. However, any 5.5” - 6” square ice pack will work just fine for this pattern.



The PDF version of this pattern includes both the Burst Stitch Design and the Victoria Stitch Design patterns. You can purchase the pattern HERE or in my Ravelry Store.
