Pattern description from Knockdown Knits: “When Dill and Brownie Her0 became roller derby announcers, they learned that not only did they have to teach the audience the rules of the game, follow the fast-paced play of the teams, and keep the crowd entertained; but they also had to teach the audience the most important rule to know when they sit in ‘suicide’ seating: ‘Lift your beer, save your beer.’ When girls get knocked out of play by the opposing team, they tend to go one place: the suicide seats. So when audience members are sitting there with their drink is going all over the floor, all over themselves and worst of all, all over that roller girl! So Dill and Brownie spend several minutes before each game teaching the audience to watch closely for these flying roller girls, and to lift that beer when they see them coming. This pattern makes it easy. This arm warmer with drink holder attached can hold bottles, cans, or the ever-popular plastic cup. It’s made with a simple 2 x 2 rib and knit in the round on double-pointed needles. Then the drink cozy is sewn on separately.”
