I didn't check out the pattern, but I have a pocket added to each side of mine, that is about six inches high and all the way across each side. One side edge is ''bound" and an open edge and the other side is also "bound" and has a velcro closing. I like it to put the paddle in one side and a few loose recipe cards in the other. Covers look attractive on the counter (I don't have under counter space for storing the mixer)
