Intended Use
The finished item is designed to hang from an IV stand/hook or from another similar stand, walker, wheelchair, etc for catheter or other type medical device bags for the purpose of concealing what is contained within the bag. The pouch should be created using yarn that is machine-washable for sanitary purposes and long-term use. When created with a quality cotton yarn and washed per the instructions on the yarn label it will endure many washings.
