Practical Crochet Armchair Caddy Free Pattern

179

The crochet armchair caddy pattern was inspired to keep our remotes in one place but the truth is, this has been more functional than I thought!

I can keep more than the remotes, things like my yarns, hooks, and current crochet projects can be kept in this crochet caddy while sitting comfortably in my armchair.
