JOIN THE SNAZZY CRUTCH CLUB!

Being on crutches for any length of time can be a bit of a downer. So, why not brighten up your new friends with some accessories of their own?

I designed these to mix and match & use up scrap yarn for a super quick, fun, AND functional project. The little stretch of garter stitch at the top of the covers provides a nice bit of cushion for the underarms, and they’re also stretchy enough to fit over extra padding should you need it.

But more importantly for me at least, they were a huge mood booster during recovery and made me feel super snazzy :)
