There are so many styles of walkers so you really do need to measure.
Basically, I make an oversized placemat, apply two pockets so one faces my Mom and the other one faces outward. I also attach snaps. It really is very easy to make.

She will love it! A former dear friend of mine made me a lovely walker bag when I had my right knee replaced 18 months ago, and it was such an asset to me! Everywhere I went... my portable phone, a book, and even snacks went with me lol. God Bless her for making it for me; I will never forget how kind of a gesture that was.
