Felted Walker Pouch Pattern


A while back I made a felted walker pouch for my Dad. My 91 year old father was in need of something to attach to his walker to carry things in, so I made this felted pouch for his walker. He loves it! People are always asking him about it and are quite interested in how it was made. It holds all his essentials and has proven to be quite useful. I have yet to see another felted walker pouch anywhere else so it is quite unique as well! Recently someone reading my blog requested pattern. Looking back at my notes I wrote up the pattern and thought I would add it to my Design Page. Hopefully it is accurate as it's been quite a while since I knitted it up.

Please contact me if you have any questions about the pattern.

happy knitting :)

  4. What a great great idea!! I recently had foot surgery and have been using a walker for 6 weeks, I've only got a week or so to go before the walker is retired but this would've been so cool to have.

    I'm sure your dad loves it!!

  10. Your walker pouch is a brilliant idea! I'm sure a lot of folks will benefit from your generosity in sharing your pattern. I'm getting a copy myself so many thanks.

    When they're fully grown I'll be harvesting the leaves and stem tips from the stevia plants you saw at my blog. Goodman is diabetic, type II so this will help a bit with sweet tea, coffee, etc. I read that you dry and crush the leaves then let 1/4 cup of the leaves set in 1 cup water for a liquid sweetener. I only got 3 plants this year, but I figured it's worth a try. If it works well I'm going to plant more next year. More info here:

  16. Thanks for the kind words. I'm going to try to keep my head up. I just have to remember that it could be worse. And it can always get worse!

  17. Perfect, if ever I can get back to knitting and crocheting I will use this pattern. Such a good idea. I've seen many walker tote type patterns, but to have it felted...makes it so much stronger, and without holes so things don't fall through. Perfect, perfect.

    How is Dad doing? Mine is hanging in there. Good and bad days. Mom's birthday is coming up, and soon after the date that would have been their 62 anniversary. I think those are gonna be some tough times.
