Crochet Hook:

G/6 or 4 mm hook MATERIALS: 3 x 100g balls Etho 100% Wool

SIZE:
Bag measures 14" wide x 13" long (35.5 x 33 cm) with flaps folded over .

GAUGE:
16 sts = 4" (10cm); 16 rows = 4" (10 cm) in single crochet

NOTES:
1. Bag is made in panels worked back and forth in rows and joined together to form pockets.
2. Backstitching vertically across rows creates pockets of varying sizes. 
3. Velcro® fasteners are sewn to flaps to secure bag around the bar of a walker. 
4. At the beginning of each row on Panels 2 and 3, draw up first chain to height of half double crochet or double crochet stitch. This first chain does not count as a stitch; do not work into this chain at the end of a row. Work first stitch of each row in last stitch of previous row. Special Stitches:
sc2tog = [Insert hook in next stitch, yarn over and pull up a loop] twice, yarn over and draw through all 3 loops on hook.
Join with sc = Place a slip knot on hook, insert hook in indicated stitch, yarn over and draw up a loop, yarn over and draw through both loops on hook.
