Crochet Arm-Chair “Pocket”

This is a very useful thing!

You’ll need:

3 skeins of red Premier Yarns Anti-Pilling Heather yarn (180yds/165m);

Crochet hook 5 mm;

Scissors;

Tapestry needle.

Size: 28×14 inches

Stitches control: 4 dc x 2 rows = 1 square inch

Instructions

Ch 52

R1: starting from the 3rd ch from the hook, 1 linked dc in each st, turn (50 sts)

R2 – 105 (can be made shorter or longer): 1 linked dc in each st, turn

After you finish your long rectangle, fold over the ends to create pockets (you can also just have one side have pockets). Sew the sides together using the mattress stitch. Then sew a running stitch to create actual pockets. This armchair pocket is made with one running stitch in the middle.

The other side has 2 running stitch lines to create 3 pockets. But you could add more pockets by sewing more “lines” to divide up the large pockets on either side.

In fact, you could even add another smaller rectangular crochet piece to each side to have even more pockets. That piece would be sewn onto the front or into a large pocket.

Once you are finished you just need to fasten off and weave in your ends.
