From website:

“I found myself having to use crutches for a while and suddenly realised how hard it is to carry things while using crutches. I had always made my bags with shorter handles, but now I needed a bag that I could wear across my body, leaving my hands free.

I made this bag from a pure wool yarn and a random-dyed yarn that is 50 per cent super-wash wool and 50 per cent acrylic, which when felted gives a lovely bouclé effect.

I used moss stitch for the strap so that it stayed flat and was comfortable to wear. As my hands were occupied (by the crutches) I also needed extra security, so this bag has a flap with a button closure. The button was stitched on with the pure wool so that it felted into position, making it a strong fastening.

This style of bag can be made in any size: larger sizes are great for laptops and smaller sizes are ideal for carrying bottles of water - you can’t carry mugs of tea when you are on crutches!“
