The Double Duty Caddy

I created this Caddy for my husband to hold his glasses, telephone, and the remote control.  It is made to fit between the mattress and bedspring.
Turns out, it doubles nicely as a couch caddy.

I made this caddy (I call it the "Daddy Caddy") because my husband has this bad habit of asking me to put his glasses on my bedside table because he doesn't want to move out of his comfy position in bed to put them on his bedside table.  I am hoping this caddy is a game changer, but I am not holding my breath.

Materials:
Worsted Weight Yarn (I used Red Heart Super Saver)
Recommended Hook Size (I used a G-6 4.25 b/c I crochet loosely)
Needle
Scissors

**Chain 2 (turning chain) counts as a HDC.

Pattern:

Main Body:
*Row 1 - 42 HDC (half double crochet) Chainless Foundation
{{Chain 42 plus 2 more, turn work, ch 2.  HDC into 3rd Ch. from hook and ea. ch. across.  Turn work, Ch.2}}
*Row 2 - Turn work, Ch. 2. HDC in 3rd from hook and each HDC across til end.
*Rows 3 - 88 - Repeat Row 2.  Do not bind off.

*Count to row 68.  Fold row 69 over to create a pocket.  Sc crochet along the side, across the bottom of the pocket and back up the other side.  Bind off.

Large Pocket:  22 rows
*23 HDC Chainless Foundation (ch 23 plus 2, turn work, ch 2, hdc into 3rd from hook).  Leave long enough tail to attach to main body.  Approx. 2.5-3 yards.

Small Pocket:  12 rows
*23 HDC Chainless Foundation (ch 23 plus 2, turn work, ch 2, hdc into 3rd from hook).  Bind off, sew in ends.

Turn pockets perpendicular instead of horizontal and attach to the main body pocket.
