Pattern description from Knockdown Knits: “The second any girl joins roller derby, she starts hearing one thing over and over. ‘You’re going to break your leg!’ So all you gals with broken arms, dislocated shoulders, or snapped wrists just go ahead and gloat at those people that try to say, ‘I told you so!’ Because they were wrong, you didn’t break your leg after all! In all seriousness, dislocated shoulders seem to be a pretty common derby injury. And those slings you see at the drugstore have no style for a derby girl at all! So knit this sling up in your favorite color or in your team colors! It’s cute, soft, and comfy and slips easily into a pocket on your skate bag - just in case you need it after a bout!”
