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.

Are you going to do a to Torio on the bedside caddy?
Tamara Kelly
Yes, it came out today! I'll link it now! 🙂
Dawn
How do you keep it from stretching when you put something heavy in there?
Tamara Kelly
Using a non-stretchy yarn helps, but you could also line the back with fabric if desired. 🙂

Can you make this wider to hold more remotes 🙄 there has got to be 4 at least sitting around, always getting knocked off the table. My hubby also has a tablet for his game playing/book reading that lats about.
Tamara Kelly
Absolutely! The width is totally up to you - there's no particular stitch repeat! 🙂

I'm planning on making the bedside organizer but when reading through the instructions I was confused on row 76-78. Instructions say to rep row 2 than to finish the last stitch with color B at the end of the row74 shouldn’t that be row 78? Could be a type error but I need to know before I start . This is a beautiful caddy and want to make it for a family member for Christmas Happy Hooking Virginia in Arkansas

Whoops, that does look like a transcription error! Thank you for bringing it to my attention, I have edited the post!
