This crochet Bedside Organizer is very simple, featuring the half double crochet stitch almost exclusively – perfect for beginners! So if you’re a more advanced crocheter, feel free to play with the numbers and details to customize your project.
The Cozy Couch & Bedside Organizer Caddy is part of the Hygge Home Crochet Along, hosted by Underground Crafter and sponsored by Red Heart Yarns! Click the image below to check out all the gorgeous free home decor patterns that are part of the collection!
Made with Red Heart With Love, the first section of the Bedside Organizer slips between the mattress and box springs (or along the inside of the couch) to hold it in place. To adjust this for a set of bunk beds, you can add a couple crochet chains to tie the first row and the fold line together! It really is handy all over the house!

Assembly:
Step1: With odd numbered rows facing out, fold at Row 59. Rows 59 – 79 will form the front of the pocket.
Step 2: Use stitch markers to hold pocket in place.
With Color B, join to the side of Row 59 with a sl st, ch 1, and sc through front *and* back layers of pocket, enclosing any yarn carried along the side.
Continue to sc along side of Color B section, switching to Color A to crochet along the side of the Color A rows.
At the corner, ch 2, and sc across the foundation chain. Then, ch 2 again, and sc along the other side, switching to Color B for that section.
Sc through front and back layers of opposite side of pocket, finishing this row at the opposite end of Row 59.
Step 3: Use stitch markers to plan your pocket divisions.
This is a custom feature – place the lines where you want them so that the pockets are the right size for the items you want to keep in the caddy.
Once marked, use surface crochet (tutorial linked above) to crochet along the line, from Row 59 to Row 79, going through both layers of the pocket, switching colors to match the stripes as desired.
