3. Materials Needed

– Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in navy blue (approx. 150 yards), taupe (approx. 100 yards), and cream (approx. 100 yards)

– Hook: 4.0mm crochet hook

– Needle: Tapestry needle for sewing in ends

– Marker: Stitch marker

– Optional extras: Buttons for decoration or securing closure

4. Designer Notes / Tips

– Stitch Technique: The pattern primarily uses single crochet stitches for a clean and sturdy finish. Feel free to add a decorative border using slip stitches or a contrasting color for a pop!

– Assembly: When you reach the assembly phase, ensure that your caddy hangs properly by aligning the top edge evenly over the arm of your chair.

– Yarn Substitutions: While worsted weight is ideal, you could also use a cotton blend for a more textured look and durability, especially if the caddy will hold items frequently.

– Gauge Tips: While gauge isn’t critical for this project, ensuring that your stitches are consistent will help maintain the overall shape and structure of the caddy.

– Safety Considerations: If you plan to use this caddy in a household with small children, consider leaving off buttons or other decorative elements that could pose a choking hazard.

5. Pattern Instructions

Main Panel

Pocket Panel

– For the pocket, create a separate panel:

Assembly

1. Place the pocket panel onto the main panel, aligning it with the bottom edge. Attach it by working sc through both layers around the sides and bottom, leaving the top open for storage.

2. To create the arm loop, fold the top of the main panel over itself, approximately 4 inches down. Seam the sides to create a channel for your chair arm.

3. You may also add buttons to secure the caddy onto the chair arm if desired.

Final Touches

– Weave in all ends and block your caddy gently to smooth out any curling edges.

– If you wish, embellish your caddy with a decorative border or your chosen buttons!
