Pattern description from Knockdown Knits: “It’s no secret that after a bout, a roller girl wants to let her hair down, blow off some steam, and get to know the other team 0 without trying to knock them down. However, when a girl is hungry, sweaty, and tired, it’s not always easy for her to remember to take care of herself. Those bumps and bruises that aren’t being noticed at the bar can be even worse the next day if they aren’t taken care of! So knit this Hangover Kit for your fellow roller girl. The water bottle holder is to remind her to stay hydrated and the attached small holder had just enough room for some pain-relief get for sore muscles and, most importantly, some ibuprofen to take the morning after. Last but not least, the I-cord drawstring makes it easy to loop over the wrist so you can hang onto it all night. Everything is felted for extra durability to make sure it lasts through the rough-and-tumble world of the roller girl after-party.”
