Pattern description from Knockdown Knits: “Ever derby girl has to put the ice pack on at some point in her skating career. In fact, most girls trudge home after every practice and slap bags of frozen veggies directly on their elbows, knees, or thighs. Knit up this quick cover to comfortable hold that bag of frozen peas in place. it will knit up quickly in two pieces, one to hold the veggies and another piece to hold it in place! The ‘pea stitch’ is easy to do and you can place as many peas on your pack as you want!”
