Walker Caddy
I used and “I” hook and three different skeins of yarn: one mufti-color and two plain matching ones.
First a made two granny squares with the mufti-color yarn for
the pockets. Weave ends. See below:
With the first matching color, I crochet one row around each
pocket and tie off. Weave ends.
Then did another row around each pocket with the other
marching yarn (which also will be the main yarn color and be used to make the
straps and attach the pockets to the main square and tie off. Weave ends.
Big granny square. Make a granny square with the mufti-color
yarn which is double one of the pockets; so, you have 9 approximately rows and then
tie off. Weave ends.
With the first matching color, I crochet one row around each
pocket and tie off. Weave ends.
Then did another row around each pocket with the other
marching yarn (which also will be the main yarn color and be used to make the
straps and attach the pockets to the main square and tie off. Weave ends.
Big granny square. Make a granny square with the mufti-color
yarn which is double one of the pockets; so, you have 9 approximately rows and then
tie off. Weave ends.
With the first matching color crochet two rows around and tie
off. Weave ends
Then with the main color crochet around 4 rows and tie off. Weave ends.
Take the two pockets and with tapestry needle weave them
together.
Flip over the big granny square so the front is facing the
table and place the pockets on lower part of the big square facing the right
side to you.
On the right side starting on the lower right corner and
crochet single crochet across until attached.
Then do the left side as you did on the right.
The across the bottom of the large granny square i.e.: bottom
of the walker caddy. With the bottom
facing you start on the right side and single crochet until you get to the end
of the one granny square tie off and weave.
Then flipping it around and starting on the left side attach again using
single crochet until you again meet to the end of the second pocket. Tie off and weave ends.
I like to weave with the tapestry needle the middle of the pocket
on the back side; so, they actually are two pocket not one giant one. If you want a giant one you will need to
weave the middle top; so, the pockets do not flap open.
Making three straps:
Strap one at the right corner attach the yarn and chain 3 in
the same crochet one dc and 7 more dc in each including the two spaces (total
of 8 dc) turn and repeat until you have 13 rows.
Then on the 14 row Ch. 3 and do
one dc, then do a dc decrease then chain one skip 4 dc then do dc decrease and
end with a dc. Tie odd and weave ends.
Repeat the above strap on the left side.
Middle strip: In find
the middle of the top to make the middle strip.
You may have to do 9 dc to make it even as I had to on this one. (Other ones I did I did not have to do 9 dc but
did 8 dc)
Do 13 rows and then on the 14 Row. Ch. 3 and do one dc then do a dc decrease then
chain one skip 4 dc then do dc decrease and end with a dc. Tie odd and weave
ends.
Add 3 matching buttons to the front side of the walker caddy on
each strap; so, it can be attached to the walker. You can substitute Velcro if you desire.
I still plan one making one with the flowers in the middle of
the granny square; but, was making this one for Kevin’s father day present. He had really need on for the walker and
since my sewing machine is still broken and I have not had the time to look at
it since I got home on Monday.
